After taking charge of Twitter this morning, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has shown former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal out of the company's San Francisco headquarters, as Musk began the purge of executives after the completion of the deal.
Elon Musk and Parag Agrawal apart from sharing tweets, also share an alma matter. The South Africa-born American business magnate, Elon Musk, attended Stanford University in California after he was accepted to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programme in material sciences. Interestingly, Parag Agrawal, who did his B.tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Bombay, also attended Stanford University to pursue a Ph.D. in computer science.
Both Musk and Agrawal chose different trajectories as the Tesla head dropped out of Stanford after two days and decided to launch his Internet startup, whereas Agrawal went on to publish his thesis on "Incorporating Uncertainty in Data Management and Integration" in 2012 before doing internships in Yahoo and Microsoft.
Media reports state that Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal policy, trust, and safety, was also fired along with finance chief Ned Segal.
