To-do List Preview! What Will Musk do if he bought Twitter?

Musk planning to Aquire Twitter got more and more people involved in.

Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund LLC, tweeted:In response, Musk left him a message saying:Musk's feud with Twitter may have only just begun, from his initial stock purchases to his current company purchases, but the news has been so intense that it makes one wonder what Musk would do if he bought Twitter, besides paying the board zero salary.

Here's a small summary based on Musk's regulatory announcements, tweets, and public interviews:

  • Soften Content Censorship and Champion Free Speech

Among all the  whole report, the one that widely mentioned was  "freedom of speech". In a TED interview last week, Musk thought:

Twitter is an inclusive arena for free speech, but now, Twitter's "black box algorithm" will deliberately recommend or hide certain tweets, which deviates from the original correct path

So free speech is important within the confines of the law and there should be no question of behind-the-scenes manipulation, be it algorithms or humans

  • “Open Source” Twitter‘s Algorithm

“open source” Twitter's algorithm, which means that others outside the company will be able to view and suggest fixes and changes. Not only that, but Musk also proposed that any human tweaks be flagged, so you'd know if someone did a recommendation, throttling, or something else that affects a tweet.

This idea Musk also offered an open source approach: you can put your code on GitHub, a website for storing software projects.

  • Eliminate Spam and Fake Bot Accounts

Musk said at a TED talk that eliminating the crypto bots that use Twitter to scam investors is a top priority for him.

"If I had a Dogecoin for every crypto scam I see, I'd have 100 billion Dogecoins."
  • Twitter Goes Private

Taking Twitter private is also one of his goals. In a regulatory filing, he mentioned:

Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company... Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.
  • Reduce Reliance on Advertising

Among Musk's many tweets was one in which he argued that Twitter should move to a business model that is more reliant on payments. At present, Twitter has launched a subscription version of Twitter Blue, which costs $2.99 ​​a month, adding the ability to delay sending posts. According to Musk's vision, each user who subscribes to Twitter Blue will be marked with a verification mark. It will also provide the ability to delete all ads

  • Push Out Edit Button

This is a retelling of the old story, and earlier, Musk launched a poll on Twitter asking if he wanted an edit button. Over 70% of users chose Hope.

In a TED interview, Musk reiterated his supportive stance.

So, which of the above suggestions do you prefer? What do you think Musk will do after acquiring Twitter?

Do you think Twitter can be successfully captured by Musk?

$Twitter(TWTR)$$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$

    There will always be a price for any acquisition. its also depends on willing buyer willing sellers. With the above 'Steams' on, I doubts that Musk would successfully acquire $Twitter(TWTR)$ . [Cool]

    With the poison pill in place, the cost will be very high. Whether it will be successfully captured by Musk depends on the number and amount of support he gets from his followers

    Actually open sourcing Twitter. Nowadays social media platforms are quite problematic in the sense of promoting posted content as well as the visibility of Ads. So this can bring revolution to SNS.

    I think he will ask the public what do they want for twitter. I think he don't have specific plans but wants the public to be involved

    Elon has enough money to buy twitter. Will he? If free speech is so important, will he buy it at all cost? I hope he does.

    I prefer to eliminate the spam & fake bot accounts while Elon will probably roll out an edit button first.
