In late October, Elon Musk closed the purchase of Twitter. In announcing the completion of the deal, he said he was motivated to promote freedom of expression.
“The reason I acquired Twitter is because I think it’s important for the future of civilization to have a common digital square where a wide range of beliefs can be discussed in a healthy way without resorting to violence,” she said. He assures that the company was not motivated to make more money.
“I didn’t do it because it would be easy, I didn’t do it to make more money,” she wrote. “I did this to try to help humanity, recognizing that failure to pursue that goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.”
