It is not immediately clear who will lead the new company. The firm company is currently led by Parag Agrawal, who took over from co-founder and former boss Jack Dorsey last November.

Musk, in his offer document, told Twitter’s board: “I don’t have confidence in management.” Under the deal, which is expected to close later this year, Twitter’s shares will be delisted and it will be taken private.
