What does Musk's recent acquisition of Twitter point towards?

New Indian Express  

Twitter users may want to worry more about their data spilling to everyone than about it leaking to Musk. Twitter already has a poor track record when it comes to security, and Musk may end up firing staff members who are crucial to preserving the safeguards the company has in place that work. Further, Musk plans to take Twitter private, post assuming ownership, which will make the platform less accountable due to the loosening of government oversight and more freedom to make decisions. A report that studied the algorithmic amplification of politics on Twitter unveiled that the political right enjoys higher amplification compared to the political left, and further showed that in six out of seven countries studied, conservative politicians enjoy higher algorithmic amplification than liberal ones. Musk has been fearful of the capacity that artificial intelligence entails to enslave humanity; therefore, we might witness him apply brakes on the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence without appropriate human safeguards.
