A closer look at what Twitter users might see under Elon Musk's ownership — new features, an open algorithm, more 'free speech' and, possibly, Trump.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk stands to be the next owner of Twitter, having pledged roughly $44 billion to buy the social platform and take it private. Assuming that happens, next up on his agenda will be planning how to fulfill his promises to develop new Twitter features, open its algorithm to public inspection and defeat"spambots" on the service that mimic real users.
The fact that no other bidders emerged in public before Musk's deal was a sign that other would-be acquirers might find Twitter too difficult to improve, said Third Bridge analyst Scott Kessler. "I am not sure if Elon knows what he is getting," Miley said."He may just find that having Twitter is a lot different than wanting Twitter."
In recent weeks, he has proposed relaxing Twitter content restrictions — such as the rules that suspended former President Donald Trump's account — while ridding the platform of fake"spambot" accounts and shifting away from advertising as its primary revenue model. Musk believes he can increase revenue through subscriptions that give paying customers a better experience — possibly even an ad-free version of Twitter.
"Do not allow 45 to return to the platform," the civil rights organization said in a statement."Do not allow Twitter to become a petri dish for hate speech or falsehoods that subvert our democracy." "Be it cars or social media, any company operating in Europe needs to comply with our rules – regardless of their shareholding," tweeted Thierry Breton, the European Union commissioner in charge of the bloc's internal market."Mr Musk knows this well. He is familiar with European rules on automotive, and will quickly adapt to the Digital Services Act."
