.ElonMusk has at least made it clear that he sees Twitter as a 'de facto public town square' that must abide by 'free speech principles,' writes KayleeDMcGhee. 'That means things will have to change.'
After turning down a seat on Twitter’s board, Musk made an offer on Thursday to buy 100% of the company’s shares at $52.40 per share. Should Twitter reject the $42 billion cash offer, Musk warned he will “need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.”
In other words, Musk is giving Twitter's board members an ultimatum: They can sell to him, or he will tank the price of Twitter’s stock. He has them cornered, and they know it. I am frightened by the impact on society and politics if Elon Musk acquires Twitter. He seems to believe that on social media anything goes. For democracy to survive, we need more content moderation, not less. Today on Twitter feels like the last evening in a Berlin nightclub at the twilight of Weimar Germany.Asking them to chip in their fair share isn’t enough. Regulating them isn’t enough.
