ELON Musk, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist and the world’s richest man, is the new king of Twitterdom. His takeover of Twitter may have provided the company a much-needed new direction of exploring uncharted adventures – as its founder Jack Dorsey says, “Solving for the problem of it being a company, however, Elon is the singular solution I trust”.
The reason Dorsey used “however” in his tweet was in the rest of his words: “In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company.” The way Musk, Twitter’s top troll, bullied the management of the company and bought it indicates that the platform may not remain a space for public good as it becomes a private property.
