>Billionaires purchase newspapers, magazines, and teams of sportsmen. Elon Musk is trying to buy a social network that he himself admits might cause much of the world to hate him.
Musk claimed that everyone will continue to blame him for everything during an interview with TED.This month, earlier. It’s 100% my responsibility if I acquire Twitter and things go wrong. There will most likely be many errors.
This sounds very promising. So why exactly does the world’s richest man — who is already running multiple companies with ambitious goals like taking humans to Mars — want to buy Twitter, a social media platform which, for all its benefits, is facing scrutiny for content issues like hate speech and misinformation, and also fighting to reigniteuser growth?Musk reiterated in recent days his desire to promote free speech on Twitter and to work with Twitter to unlock its “extraordinary potential.” Others have suggested that Musk — who has 83 million followers on Twitter and has long used it to bolster his personal brand — may be more interested in boosting attention for himself. Musk says that the ultimate goal of Musk’s Twitter campaign is to protect civilization as it exists today. Musk stated at the TED conference, “My intuitive intuition is that having a publicly accessible platform that is maximumly trusted and inclusive is essential to the future civilization.”Musk plans to open the algorithm and make it transparent for users when tweets are emphasized, deemphasized, or moved in their feed. Also, Musk stated that he wanted to encourage more moderate content moderators. Musk expressed concern that people should not delete material and would prefer to use timeouts rather than permanent bans.But it is not obvious that his plans will be any different than Twitter’s already established strategy. Although Twitter’s algorithm is not currently open source — a term that describes code that is publicly available for anyone to see — leaders at Twitter have expressed support for moving in that direction, and the company often makes clear when it is demoting certain tweets or types of content. Twitter has also chosen to label rather than remove problematic content. And it offers several short suspensions to users who violate its rules before removing them.Learn more HereThe post Take a look at Twitter and Elon Musk’s whirlwind April appeared first on Social Media Explorer.
