Tesla CEO Elon Musk acquired Twitter in a deal of about $44 million on Monday. The company will now become a private one, and shareholders will receive $54.20 in cash for each share.

As the news broke out on Twitter, hashtags such as #LeavingTwitter and #TwitterTakeover started trending. Many users questioned how exactly free and open Twitter would remain. On the other hand, some users made jokes about how they were worried about new Indina-origin CEO Parag Agrawal's future.
