Elon Musk: I Bought Twitter!!!

I can’t verify it in a fairly quick search. Hope it really is done.

According to TMZ

Elon Musk is officially Twitter’s new daddy — at least according to Elon Musk — who says he hopes the platform will continue to be a digital town square for years to come.

The Tesla/SpaceX boss explained his reasons for the $44 billion purchase Thursday, saying, “There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide in our society.”

He continues, “In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost.”

He says, “That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it because it would be easy. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.”

  1. I hope Elon does house cleaning and has a fire sale and cleans up the company. I have a hard time processing the way high tech workers are now-making demands of their CEO/bosses, like they are in charge, not the bosses.

    Take the way back machine missy and experience the rough and tumble of the mid/late 90’s high tech. One day you see Clint Eastwood outside your door, Spielberg in the parking lot. The next, your team gets divided in half and split into two rooms. One room remains employed and the other is laid off. “We wish you all the best…”

    And that’s it.
