Oct. 28 – Musk closes a deal to acquire Twitter on the final day before the Delaware Chancery Court trial would have moved forward. Some of Twitter's top executives were fired, including CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal, chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde and general counsel Sam Edgett, according to a source.

Musk said that he will forgo any significant content moderation or account reinstatement decisions until after the formation of a new committee devoted to the issues.

"Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints," Musk tweeted. "No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes."

Nov. 4 – Twitter begins layoffs that will cut roughly half of its 7,500-person workforce, the company announced in an email.

"Today is your last working day at the company," the email said, which ABC News has reviewed. The subject line read "Your Role at Twitter" and was sent to the personal email addresses of those laid off.

Nov. 9 – Twitter launches a new version of its subscription service, Twitter Blue, which allows users to access verification if they pay a monthly fee of $8.
Previously, the company verified celebrities, politicians, journalists and prominent figures on a case-by-case basis in an effort to prevent impersonation.

To address impostors, Musk says the site will permanently suspend users who attempt to impersonate others, unless the account is clearly marked as a parody.

Step 3.
Elon is forced in Delaware court to complete the deal. Eventually Elon agrees to acquire the company a day before the court trial would have moved forward. Layoffs begin and Elon starts experimenting with new ideas for the platform.
