In a statement the billionaire said :

“I didn’t do it because it would be easy. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.”

Elon also visited Twitter headquarters today carrying a sink.

The billionaire also fired several executives at Twitter including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, legal head, Vijaya Gadde, and general counsel, Sean Edgett. Some of the fired executives were escorted out of Twitter’s office earlier today.
