Elon Musk is being tempted to make his own version of Twitter

Must Read

In an age where “free speech” is more of becoming a buzzword that means absolutely anything anymore. Tesla CEO Elon Musk seems as if he is currently thinking about starting his own platform.

What lead him to this idea is hard to tell given that his content hasn’t been censored in any way and he has amassed a large following over the years.

He started off with a Twitter poll, in which he asked his followers a question on whether they think Twitter rigorously adheres to the principle of “free speech”. It was a yes and no type question where 70.4% of the voters answered no and 29.6% answered yes.

It goes to show that users are not confident of Twitter’s role as being an epitome of “free speech” which others would like to believe. Someone later asked him a question about whether he would be considering building a social media platform for the very purpose of upholding “free speech”, he replied that he was giving it thought.

Whether anything will come out of this, is really hard to tell given that Elon Musk has a lot of ventures he is currently working on. It’s not the first that a celebrity has done something like this, in fact, former US President Donald Trump created his own social media platform Truth Social after his account got deleted from Twitter.

Let’s see what comes out of this, this might just be another PR stunt.
