Twitter’s board of directors unanimously agreed to Musk’s offer to purchase the social media platform for roughly $44 billion,The announcement followed weeks of reported jostling between Musk and Twitter’s board of directors over whether he should be allowed to take over the company. Some people may have found comfort in recent reports saying Twitter’s board adoptedfor shareholders that would prevent Musk from doing so.
Make no mistake: Musk’s ownership of the company will likely make the platform into even more of a hellscape. The reasons why are clear to anyone willing to see them. Musk has a warped view of free speech that’s not befitting of someone running a social media platform. His sophomoric perception of “free speech” draws from right-wing logic claiming moderation — even moderation of speech that might cause harm — is unjust. For example,for posing a risk of inciting further violence after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“A good sign as to whether there’s free speech is: Is someone you don’t like allowed to say something you don’t like? And if that is the case, then we have free speech,” MuskOf course, Trump wasn’t booted from Twitter merely for saying things people “don’t like." He was kicked off because . Musk doesn’t see a difference, which is why he’s just about the worst person to have at Twitter’s helm.Unfortunately, we’ve seen the disturbing ways Musk personally engages with Twitter. It's not hard to imagine what behavior he might encourage as the company's new leader.
