Surprise, surprise! Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased 9.2% in Twitter stock this week, making him the largest single shareholder in the company. That’s more than even Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey owns.
The move comes as Musk has been outspoken over the platform’s free speech censorship that has led to blocks and bans largely targeting conservatives.
The new purchase also led to Musk being named as one of Twitter’s board members on Tuesday, a move that has already improved the company’s stock prices and has given many users new hope that the social media platform could once again offer more freedom of speech.
It wasn’t long ago that Donald Trump was banned from Twitter as a sitting president. Many others have also since been punished, including the Babylon Bee, over a satire post regarding one of Biden’s transgender appointees.
At one point, people were telling Musk to start his own social media company or to buy Twitter. Instead, he has bought himself a seat at the table, allowing a new perspective to be heard that should come as a relief to free-speech loving Americans and others around the world.
There’s more in the report, so be sure to check it out and get up to date on the latest details on the purchase that could change the entire social media landscape.
