After weeks of back and forth, Elon Musk just sealed a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. But big questions still remain about what direction the company will take under one of the world’s most eccentric and outspoken billionaires.
Tech entrepreneur Musk is galloping into the social media space after Twitter accepted his offer to buy the company. As its new owner, he will try to realize his vision for the social media platform by fixing what he considers to be its failures.
In making his “best and final offer” to buy Twitter earlier in April, Musk said he intended for it to reclaim its status as a “platform for free speech around the globe.” The offer came after he criticized Twitter’s censorship rules and the number of bots posting on the service.
