As we all know, Elon Musk loves to stay in the headlines and recently he became the talk of the town when he fired some top executives after taking over the site. The executives who were sacked include Parag Agrawal who used to be the CEO of Twitter.
Parag Agarwal has Indian origins as he was born in Ajmer and studied at IIT Bombay and afterward, he moved to Stanford University. Elon Musk’s decision to fire Parag, indeed, gave a rise to numerous controversies, and surprisingly amid all this, Musk has now teamed up with another man of Indian lineage Sriram Krishnan who is his close business associate.
Sriram Krishnan is an ex-Twitter employee and a general partner at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (also called a16z) which invested in Musk’s buyout of Twitter.
Reportedly, on October 30, Musk flew to New York, Krishnan and others were holding the fort in Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters. Krishnan posted a picture of the office on Twitter, on October 31, and said that he was “helping out” Musk “temporarily”.
Krishnan recently tweeted,
“Now that the word is out: I’m helping out @elonmusk with Twitter temporarily with some other great people. I (and a16z) believe this is a hugely important company and can have a great impact on the world and Elon is the person to make it happen”
