  • Two people who claim to be Twitter employees, speak with reporters outside Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, California. It later emerged that they were likely practical jokers pretending to be laid off Twitter staff. Elon Musk has begun his first full day leading Twitter, with critics and fans anxious to see how the planet's richest man will run one of the world's leading social media platforms. Among Musk's first acts in power on Thursday were the reported firing of chief executive Parag Agrawal and other senior officials -- though the company did not reply to AFP's request for comment and Agrawal still listed himself as CEO on his Twitter profile.
