Twitter executives are now taking a fresh look at the offer from Musk and it’s being said that it is likely for Twitter to agree with the proposal or come to the table to negotiate.

Musk has lined up financing to take over the social media platform and he seems to be serious about running it properly and not just focusing on pumping up the share prices. From what we have heard Elon wants to make it a platform of “free speech”.  He wants to point out that Twitter would “unleash its potential” if he owns and runs the platform.

What do you think? Should moderation of tweets be removed? Would Twitter be a place where everyone can speak or would only the most abusive voices rise up and force the thoughtful voices to eventually leave the platform? Leave your comments!
