Elon flying on the wings of ‘Twitter’
Recently, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 Billion. This move was to make the platform private and become mainstream for free speech.
There is a lot of speculation of the future of Twitter, however, Elon assures the world that no changes to the twitter platform will happen without the formation of a council. This is also to re-instate banned accounts.
The delegation of misinformation is very important for the upcoming election which is on a lot of people’s minds. Elon also mentions that Twitter will not take action that can directly effect the election until votes have been finalized.
I think this is one of the smartest moves that Elon has done. Twitter is a text-only platform where people can express their opinions freely. The same as sites such as Reddit and Quora. The key that Elon now has is the use of personal information.
With that said, Elon will be able to see and access trends from Twitter before they happen in the real world. He has access to even more data and more diversity among his assets. Whether this was done directly or indirectly, Elon has gained new power in the world.
We will see if it is used for good or for bad…
I believe it will be for the good.

One response so far
I see it differently, Jacob, but I’m not a business person. A headline in the Washington Post today was “World’s richest man decides to set $44 billion on fire.” Based on what I’m seeing on Twitter, I predict a lot of people — and a lot of advertisers — jumping ship.
Text only? Am I missing something?
