Elon Musk has officially bought Twitter
Elon Musk announced on Thursday that he has bought Twitter ahead of a court-imposed deadline to seal the $44billion takeover.
The Tesla CEO sent a tweet to advertisers, warning that Twitter cannot become a 'hellscape' under his ownership.
“The reason I acquired Twitter is that it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right-wing and far left-wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society,” Musk said.
Musk said that he wanted the “social media giant to become a digital town square it obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences.”
“In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature,” he added. (ILKHA)
