Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and took control on October 27. He then moved quickly to remove several top executives, including Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal, and announced layoffs affecting about half of Twitter’s workforce.

Chief privacy officer Damien Kieran and chief compliance officer Marianne Fogarty have also released their documents, the Verge reported earlier Thursday, citing sources and messages on Twitter’s internal channels.

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the departures.
