Elon Musk is officially the chief executive officer of Twitter.

Musk, who on late Thursday completed his Twitter deal, quickly moved to lay off CEO Parag Agrawal and other executives. As of Saturday afternoon, Musk has been set up under internal profiles at Twitter, including a firm directory and Slack, with the CEO title, two people familiar with the changes told Business Insider.

A few days before the deal closed, Musk changed his Twitter bio to read only “Chief Twit.” He told employees during a meeting in June that he expected to be the leader of Twitter, but said the title of CEO was not important to him.

“I don’t really care what title is, but obviously, people do need to listen to me,” he said at the time. Musk also runs Tesla, where his official title is “Technoking,” in addition to leading roles at SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.

Since taking over Twitter, Musk has met employees with silence. Meanwhile, he and his personal team of executives and assistants have gone about transitioning operations to Musk’s control and planning layoffs, as Insider reported.
