November 1,

After acquiring Twitter for $44 billion (€44.4 billion), Elon Musk dissolved the company's board and pronounced himself in charge of the social media giant.

Musk became “sole director” of Twitter after finalising his $44bn takeover of the company last week, according to documents filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday.

The Tesla CEO tweeted later on Monday that the arrangement would be “temporary” without elaborating.
