Elon Musk changes his Twitter profile to ‘Chief Twit’ and location to ‘Twitter HQ’

The world’s richest man has changed his Twitter profile location to ‘Twitter HQ’ and his descriptor to ‘Chief Twit’ ahead of a court-imposed deadline to close his $44 billion takeover by Friday. 

Musk posted a video of himself carrying a sink into the social media network’s San Francsico office on Wednesday, captioning it: ‘Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!’ 

It comes a day after Musk made a vow in a video conference call with bankers, who are helping fund the deal, that he would close the takeover deal before the end of the week. 

Led by Morgan Stanley, the banks have finished putting together the final credit agreement and are in the process of signing the documentation, marking one of the last steps in providing $13 billion towards the deal.

On Wednesday, Twitter’s chief marketing officer sent a memo to employees to inform them that Musk would be visiting the San Francisco headquarters this week to address staff, Bloomberg reported.

‘Elon is in the SF office this week meeting with folks, walking the halls, and continuing to dive in on the important work you all do,’ the memo read. 

‘For everyone else, this is just the beginning of many meetings and conversations with Elon, and you’ll all hear directly from him on Friday.’

Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen McCormick previously ordered Musk to close the deal by 5pm on Friday, October 28, warning that otherwise a new trial date would be set in Twitter’s lawsuit seeking to force the sale.  

Meanwhile, Twitter staffers penned an open letter this week protesting Musk’s alleged plans to lay off up to two-thirds of the company’s employees after completing the deal.
