American billionaire Elon Musk topped the American platforms after appearing in Twitter's offices for the first time, in preparation for the completion of the deal to completely transfer the platform to him.
Musk shared - via his Twitter account - a video of his first entry to the company, in which he appeared carrying a wash basin, in a scene that was widely popular and achieved more than 23 million views.
Musk also changed his identity in his account on the platform to the president of Twitter, and changed his location to “Twitter HQ” (twitter HQ), which confirms that the termination of the deal in his favour is imminent, and his announcement is approaching as the actual head of the platform after months of controversy.
Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!

Musk commented that he met many Twitter employees during his visit.
The news indicates the possibility of ending the deal completely tomorrow, Friday, within the deadline set by the court to finish the deal.
Meeting a lot of cool people at Twitter today!

The video, which was published by Mask, received widespread ridicule across the platforms, as many questioned the significance of this basin, which prompted Mask to carry it when he first entered the company's headquarters.
Many questions arose across the platforms about the future of the platform after Musk’s control, specifically Twitter employees, who some news indicated Musk’s intention to significantly reduce their numbers.
Musk is going to get bored in a month and ignore Twitter the same way he does all of his other projects.

"I can't calculate how much I'd pay to read a Slack conversation for Twitter employees today," writer Glenn Greenwald tweeted.
I can't even calculate how much money I'd pay to read the Slack chat of Twitter employees today.
Definitely would pay extra to read the thoughts of "Content Moderators."

Some also questioned the fate of the fake accounts after the acquisition, as they were the main focus of Musk's struggle with Twitter, as he wanted to back out of the deal because of it.

Of course, a beginning that has many meanings for the employees.. What will he do with them ‼️ https://t.co/jI9yq9IFsK

Musk's acquisition of the platform went through several stages, as Musk backed away from a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion, saying that the number of fake accounts was much higher than Twitter's estimates of less than 5% of users.
But the platform’s management denied Musk’s accusations, and said that he was trying to back down because of his concern about the price, and a lawsuit was filed to oblige him to complete the deal according to the agreed price, but Musk returned to complete the deal again on condition of freezing legal procedures.
