According to Musk, he hopes that the platform will remain a digital town square for years to come. "There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that will generate more hate and divide our society," said the CEO of the company. In the pursuit of clicks, traditional media has fueled and catered to those extremes as they believe that is what brings in the money, but in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost. That is the reason I bought it. I didn't do it because it wouldn't be hard. I did it because I wanted to. I did it to help others. Failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility. His new purchase is reflected in his bio on the social networking site. The guy in the video is moving boxes at headquarters. It ends the book on what turned out to be a bitter acquisition, one that almost didn't happen when the company threatened to pull out at the last minute. He felt that the value of the company might not have been as high as he was willing to pay initially. He thought it gave him every legal reason to leave. He was taken to court by the old regime and they were going to hold him to the original terms. The man agreed to go through with it. Since he's in charge, there's been a lot of talk about what he's going to do at the social network. It all started with his gripes about free speech being severely limited on the platform, and all indications are that he loosened the rules a bit as far as what's acceptable to post on the platform. According to recent reports, there's a plan to gut at least 75% of the workforce at Twitter, while also bashing a lot of them as left- leaning. There have been protests to push back on this, but at this point, it's Elon's show. There are going to be major changes, including whether or not the social networking site stays free. Now that he's at the helm, he needs to find a way to make his co-financers happy by generating revenue.
