Musk's former lieutenant said that the billionaire might not be able to assess the consequences of his messages.
The Knight Foundation held a conference on Tuesday about Musk's use of the platform and the former head of trust and safety spoke about it.
When it comes to safety and security, you don't always have a perspective of what other people are going through.
The work of trust and safety is based on that. He asked, "How do you understand and empathise with the problems and harms that can come to people whose lived experience is different from your own?"
Many people have praised Musk's leadership style at the company since he took over, but others have warned that he may be opening the door to more inaccuracies on the platform. Earlier this week, the company announced it would no longer enforce its misinformation policy.
A fake CNN headline and baseless allegations about the recent attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband have been sent by Musk since he took over.
He thinks it may be hard to understand the consequences that he can have for the people he targets.
Donald Trump is an example of how online communities can be rallied.
He said that when you have a lot of followers on a social networking site, everything that you do can be used to mobilize them.
After riots at the Capitol, Trump was suspended from social media. His account was restored this month.
