Elon Musk took control of Twitter and fired its top executives, US media reported late Thursday, hours before the deadline for the billionaire to seal his on-again, off-again deal to purchase the social media network.

Musk had a court-imposed Friday deadline to complete the Twitter deal he inked in April.
