Elon Musk, who now controls Twitter, the world’s most prominent social media platform, has been welcomed as chief by Guinness World Records after a surprise acquisition.
This morning, GWR gave Twitter users an idea of what was going on by simply writing “Hello, Mr. Musk.” By that time the news of his acquiring the company had not gone viral. “Now what did he do?” asked one user.
hi Mr. Musk

Those who knew about the acquisition wondered if a record was being set.
“You mean the worthless record with 44 billion?” A user wrote.
U mean useless record with 44Billion ?

Some people suggested Musk should buy GWR next. Another asked the record-keeping platform to not worry.

Others warmly welcomed the world’s richest man by also saying simple “hellos” in the comment section.
After a series of dramatic twists and turns, Musk and Twitter finally struck a deal where the billionaire stuck to his original offer and bought the microblogging platform.
The Twitter-Musk saga started in July when the Tesla chief pulled the plug in April, alleging that Twitter had misrepresented the number of spam and fake accounts. Twitter responded with a lawsuit immediately.
Finally, after multiple trials, the settlement was done and Musk is officially now “Chief Twit” as his bio reads.
He made headlines again by saying that the “bird was freed” with his acquiring Twitter and firing executives including now ex-CEO Parag Agarwal.
