Tech editor Nando Kasteleijn:
Elon Musk will not end up on the day-to-day management of Twitter. The board of directors, of which he becomes a member, can be compared to a supervisory board. A body with supervisory functions that is in close contact with the board of the company and often includes people from inside and outside the company.
The big question is how big Musk’s influence will be on Twitter’s policies. A Verge journalist quoted a spokesperson as emphasizing that Musk in his new roles not about policy choicesEven though he is known for his sharp opinions.
Looking back, it is noticeable that Musk at the end of March in a poll on Twitter asked if the company was doing enough to ensure free speech (no, 70 percent said). A day later he even wondered if there wasn’t a new platform was needed. The latter is particularly remarkable, because we now know that he had already become Twitter’s largest shareholder by then.
