Elon Musk and his plans for Twitter. Here are the 5 things that can change

Live Mint  

After spending months to seal the deal with Twitter, Elon Musk now officially owns the social media platform. He also mentioned that he has some ‘big’ plans for the platform as the ‘future civilisations need a common digital town hall to carry out healthy debate’. Platform for healthy debates: Opening up to the advertisers on Thursday, Musk mentioned it will be a common digital platform where various audiences can carry healthy debates. In an open letter, he writes, “…you can choose your desired experience as per your preference, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play videogames ranging from all ages to mature.” Not a free-for-all: He also hints towards the fact that it will no longer be a free-for-all space as he goes on to write, “Twitter cannot become ‘free-for-all hellspace’, where anything can be said without consequence.” Cost-cutting measures: In a bid to boost Twitter’s value, there could be cutting down its workforce, something he’s hinted at before. Unbanning few prominent accounts: Musk has also opined that Twitter should be more “reluctant to delete things” and “very cautious with permanent bans.” This means a long list of controversial far right figures and conspiracy theorists, among others, including Donald Trump, can find their way back to the platform.
