From freeing the blue bird to Trump memes, here's how twitteratti reacted to Elon Musk's Twitter purchase

<p>You would have to be living under a rock to not know by now that the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has added yet another feather to his cap: Twitter.</p>

<p>But, let’s still have a short recap. Musk has purchased Twitter for the huge sum of $44 Billion, and this ‘happy ending’ comes after a battle of words and some actions drawn out over a few weeks.</p>

<p>Different people had different reactions to this news.</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/even-after-elon-musks-twitter-takeover-donald-trump-is-going-to-stay-on-truth-473932">Even after Elon Musk's Twitter takeover, Donald Trump is going 'to stay on Truth'</a></strong></p>

<p>Twitter founder Jack Dorsey backed the move commenting, "Elon’s goal of creating a platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is the right one."</p>

<p>The United States expressed concern about the power that large social media outlets hold. While the White House dismissed that the concerns had anything to do with the billionaire, spokesperson Jen Psaki did say "no matter who owns or runs Twitter, the President has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms, that power they have over our everyday lives."</p>

<p>Now let’s take a look at what the controversial personality, the former president Donald Trump had to say about Musk’s takeover of Twitter.</p>

<p>Talking to Fox News, he declared that he will not be returning to Twitter. &nbsp;"I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on Truth," referring to his own startup Truth Social.</p>

<p>The Republican leader however also praised Elon Musk. "I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on Truth," he said.</p>

<p>But what did the Twitterati have to say about Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Twitter?</p>

<p>Let’s find out:</p>

<p>Many took to tweeting out requests for the reinstatement of Donald Trump’s banned account, celebrating what was once a very controversial but at times entertaining account with more than 8 million followers.</p>

<p>Team India has decided to go ahead with three pacers and two spinners as they take on New Zealand in the final showdown of the World Test Championship. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday announced the Team India playing XI before the match that will commence from Friday at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.</p>

<p>The batting line-up picks itself with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill entering the WTC Final as India’s designated openers. Cheteshwar Pujara, skipper Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant complete the batting unit for India in the much-awaited final. Whereas, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin will fill in for the spin position and also will provide a much-needed depth to the Men in Blue. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Ishant Sharma will be the pacers for the match.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sometimes, teams need one person who can make something happen, a person who will go about as the impetus to push the whole squad. AB de Villiers is a player of that caliber. He is a man who can shift the direction of a game in a matter of a couple of overs, and it is this sparkle of brightness that South Africa seriously misses in their present set-up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>De Villiers will go down as one of the best South African batsmen ever, regardless of whether he plays further for his country. South Africa remains&nbsp;to acquire from the presence of a genius like De Villiers on their side.

'It was inevitable': Twitter blows up as IPL 2021 gets postponed indefinitely

Donald Trump and his tiny desk; #DiaperDon trends on Twitter

<p>A day after the&nbsp;Republican Senator&nbsp;David Perdue mispronounced the Democratic VP elect Kamala Harris' name, Twitter slammed the Senator by starting a unique campaign against the Senator.</p>

<p>The incident happened when&nbsp;Perdue spoke ahead of US President Donald Trump in his rally in Georgia on Friday. He was caught on tape making sun of Harris' name by pronouncing her name in a weird exaggerated manner and then ending it by saying "I don`t know, whatever".</p>

<p>When the video surfaced in the popular social media platform&nbsp;Twitter, people of colour started a campaign in which several users came forward and explained their name and the meaning behind it.</p>

<p>Several South Asian-origin users came forward claiming that their grandmothers mothers were also named Kamala, and not "Kamala-mala-mala, I don’t know, whatever.”</p>

<p>One such user, Gautam Raghavan, tweeted, "#MyNameIs Gautam. It means bright light. The kind of bright light a Biden-Harris Administration will represent. And that is why #IWillVote."</p>

A day after the Republican Senator David Perdue mispronounced the Democratic VP elect Kamala Harris' name, Twitter slammed the Senator by starting a unique campaign against the Senator.

A day after the Republican Senator David Perdue mispronounced the Democratic VP elect Kamala Harris' name, Twitter slammed the Senator by starting a unique campaign against the Senator. The incident happened when Perdue spoke ahead of US President Donald Trump in his rally in Georgia on Friday. He was caught on tape making sun of Harris' name by pronouncing her name in a weird exaggerated manner and then ending it by saying "I don`t know, whatever". When the video surfaced in the popular social media platform Twitter, people of colour started a campaign in which several users came forward and explained their name and the meaning behind it. Several South Asian-origin users came forward claiming that their grandmothers mothers were also named Kamala, and not "Kamala-mala-mala, I don’t know, whatever.” One such user, Gautam Raghavan, tweeted, "#MyNameIs Gautam. It means bright light. The kind of bright light a Biden-Harris Administration will represent. And that is why #IWillVote." My great grandmother’s name was Kamala. Not “Kamala-mala-mala, I don’t know, whatever.”#MyNameIs Gautam. It means bright light. The kind of bright light a Biden-Harris Administration will represent. And that is why #IWillVote.

<p>Naya Rivera always looked out for her son - even in the final moments of her life. On Monday, as Ventura County Sheriff's officials confirmed that Rivera's <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/glee-star-naya-rivera-dead-at-33-as-police-find-body-at-lake-where-she-went-missing-313117">body had been found floating in the northeast corner</a> of Lake Piru, it brought an end to five days of relentless search in California lake.<br />
<br />
While addressing the media, the police stated that the actress died while saving her son.</p>

<p>The discovery came five days after Rivera disappeared on Lake Piru, where her son was found on July 8 asleep and alone on a rented pontoon boat, authorities said. Authorities said the following day that they believed Rivera had drowned, and they had shifted to working to find her body rather than find her alive.<br />
<br />
According to the police working on Rivera's case, the actor died trying to save her son.<br />
<br />
Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said that Rivera had mustered enough energy to help her son, but was unable save herself. The officials believe that the actor had been trapped by vegetation beneath the surface of the lake, which is why it took five days to spot her.<br />
<br />
Rivera's son Josey Hollis Dorsey had told the police that after the two went swimming, Rivera pushed him into the boat but when he turned around to see her, she had disappeared underwater.<br />
<br />
Josey was found asleep in the rented boat by the search party on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Rivera's untimely and tragic death had left the entire world in shock with most hailing her courage for saving her son during the final moments of her life.<br />
<br />
Singer and actress Rivera was best known for her role in TV series 'Glee' where she played singing cheerleader Santana Lopez for six seasons.</p>

<p>India might have faced a bitter defeat by the hands of the Kiwis but there was a moment during the match when the Indian team and Spectators burst out in laughter. This happened when Virat Kohli chose to bowl an over.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This happened when New Zealand was just seven runs away from victory (125-3). In a most bizarre decision of all, Kohli decided to ball an over to Henry Nicholls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Surprisingly Henry Nicholls looked nervous while playing the over. Kohli's second delivery almost got the wicket of Nicholls after a loose pull-shot saw a fielder at mid-on, but the ball did not carry.

<p>Kiwi seal 7 wickets win over India on the third day of the five-day Test match at Hagley Oval, Christchurch.&nbsp;</p>

<p>New Zealand's were consistent with their bat and bowl. India was bowled out on 242 runs in the first innings after half-centuries by Prithvi Shaw, Cheteshwar Pujara and Hanuma Vihari. New Zealand's new pacer spearhead Kyle Jamieson took his first 5-wicket haul in his Test career for the Blackcaps (5/45).&nbsp;</p>

<p>In reply, New Zealand was bowled out on 235 runs handing 7 runs lead to India. Tom Latham scored 52 runs for the Kiwis and Kyle Jamieson shined with the bat too, after scoring 49 runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India failed to capitalise on the lead in the second innings and lost wickets in quick succession. They were bowled out on 124 runs. Pacer duo Boult and Southee scalped 7 wickets to shatter Indian hopes of a series equaliser setting the target of 132 runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kiwi opener Tom Latham and Tom Blundell set 103-runs stand, almost winning the game for New Zealand. Latham scored 52 runs whereas Blundell scored 55 runs. Henry Nicholls hit the winning runs in the second session of the fourth day. New Zealand scored 132/3 in 36 overs.&nbsp;</p>
