INTRODUCTION to my blog. Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter is a historical event in the course of human history. When significant events are in the hurricane of the moment it can be difficult to see anything more than the negative reactions. In this case, the mainstream media has spun and still is spinning Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter (for $44B) as a scandal. The keen observer will see through the misinformation. What are the painstaking details that had to happen in order for Twitter to become what Elon Musk meant it to be? A platform for all people for freedom of speech. This blog attempts to capture the Elon Musk Twitter story as it develops. Thank you for your support!

Did you know?

Elon Musk has always been a believer in the power of free speech and a functioning democracy, and he invested in Twitter with a vision of it becoming a platform for global free speech. Recognizing the extraordinary potential of Twitter, Elon Musk offered to buy the company, and he expressed his commitment to transforming it into a private entity to unlock its full potential in a letter dated April 13, 2022.

In his offer, Elon Musk shows his deep care for Twitter and its shareholders, offering a generous premium for their shares. He emphasizes that this offer is his best and final, made with the sincere intention of driving positive change for the company.

Elon Musk’s approach reflected a genuine desire to see Twitter thrive and serve its societal imperative, ensuring that it remains a platform for free speech and a cornerstone of democracy. This would come to fruition through the Twitter Files and through developing safety nets for the platform such as Community Notes and the elimination of CSAM.
