After acquiring the social media company, the 51-year-old also penned a lengthy note to his advertisers stating why he bought Twitter and what he thinks about advertising.

“The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence.”
“In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences.”
“Fundamentally, Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform in the world that strengthens your brand and grows your enterprise … Let us build something extraordinary together.”
And just hours after he closed the $44-billion deal on Thursday and acquired the micro-blogging site, reports have it that the Billionaire has fired Twitter’s Indian-origin CEO Parag Agrawal, and top legal executive Vijaya Gadde.
