Tech billionaire Elon Musk declared “the bird is freed” after he completed the USD44 billion Twitter acquisition on Thursday.

The new Twitter owner fired top executives, but failed to provide details on how he will achieve the ambitions he outlined for the platform.

Musk, a self-described free-speech absolutist, has vowed to lessen restrictions on Twitter content, while attempting to prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division.

The Tesla CEO is also attempting to “defeat” bots on Twitter, and make public the algorithms that define how content is presented to users.
