Elon Musk dissolves Twitter's board of directors

Elon Musk has dissolved Twitter's board of directors - cementing his control over the social media platform.
 

The multi-billionaire will be its chief executive after buying the company last week, ending months of back and forth over the $44bn (£38.3bn) deal.

He has moved quickly to put his mark on the firm, which is used by politicians and journalists around the world.
 

The reforms he is contemplating include changes for how Twitter verifies accounts, as well as job cuts.
