While not completely enterprise tech, we felt like it was necessary to cover the Twitter saga since so many of us use social media to share information and build our communities. The acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk closed on Thursday after the market closed. From there the new owner of the platform fired the CEO, CFO, and chief legal counsel. He dismissed the board of directors this week to become the sole head of the company. He also brought in a number of engineers from Tesla and SpaceX to start interviewing Twitter developers and understand how the code works for the platform. The catch? Tesla and Twitter develop in two entirely different langagues. These reports come amid rumors that people are being forced to work 80 hour weeks and that there will likely be looming layoffs coming very soon. To top it all off, Elon\'s grand plan to make Twitter profitable now seems to be around charging more for Twitter Blue, the premium service. The initial report was that Musk wanted to charge $20/month and include verification for the service. Many users balked publicly, including celebrities such as author Steven King. Musk backpedaled quickly and offered a compromise of $8/month, which is still almost double the current cost but users are wary of what that would entail. Nathan, this is a massive pile of craziness and Elon hasn\'t even owned them for a week!
