That stance has alarmed online safety campaigners and many Twitter users, who have also raised concerns about Mr Musk’s aim of allowing “absolute free speech” on the platform. “The state of our democracy and civic life really do depend on it.” Mr Musk celebrated the completion of his protracted takeover of the social media giant by tweeting shortly before 5am UK time on Friday: “the bird is freed”, in reference to Twitter’s bird logo. It will create the most headlines and it will make a statement to the world, Twitter users and everyone else that he has arrived and he is in charge Social media expert Matt Navarra A US court had set a deadline of Friday for the Tesla and SpaceX boss to complete his acquisition of the platform. Social media expert Matt Navarra said he was not surprised by the reports and said the reversal of permanent bans to allow “some of the most polarising, controversial, trouble-making accounts” back on to Twitter was the “most likely” big change to make early in Mr Musk’s tenure.
