Musk Said To Support Free Speech
Musk said last month that he is acquiring the social media site for $44 billion. He stated after his acquisition proposal was accepted that he wanted to support ‘free speech.’ “Free expression is the backbone of a healthy democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where crucial issues affecting humanity’s future are argued,” he said.
Musk recently sold $4.8 billion (£3.82 billion) in Tesla stock, shortly after Twitter agreed to sell him the firm.
