According to a tweet confirmed by Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, as well as a Twitter press release, Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk has successfully bought out Twitter for $44 billion: Below is a quote from Musk in the Twitter press release: “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. . .I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”
I celebrate Elon Musk’s take-over of Twitter. Harder to see is any site that is truly free. With so many competing versions of the truth espoused by many with good, and some with bad intent, can one Internet forum site provide the ability to sift through all the voices?
And while we are being hopeful, it would be great if a video platform could evolve and even spun off -one that would seriously compete with YouTube. Going there is like the zebra who eyes the lion , both drinking from the pool of water, thinking about his brother who was the lion’s last meal, and hoping he is not next!
