Here’s what Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter means for users

I don't think that that one person should have full control of the platform. I think that people should have their own voice and be able to share how they feel. You already got so much money, you already got so much stuff. Why are you messing with twitter bro? Like I'm on twitter all the time, but it's like why you go over here and binds what you're like stunting on this. You know, I just feel like if you have all that money, um it's easy to buy your way to take control over speech and stuff like that and that just shouldn't be allowed. It's like not good capitalism, this is America and I'll be frankly honest, which I wish him the best of luck. I think he'll turn it for the better.

The outspoken Tesla CEO, who is also the world’s wealthiest person, has said he wanted to buy and privatize Twitter because he thinks it’s not living up to its potential as a platform for free speech.

In recent weeks, he has voiced a number of proposed changes for the company, from relaxing its content restrictions to shifting away from its advertising-based revenue model.

Musk said in a statement Monday that he wants to "make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans." Separately, he said in a tweet Monday that he hopes "even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means."

Asked during a recent TED talk if there are any limits to his notion of "free speech," Musk said Twitter or any forum is "obviously bound by the laws of the country that it operates in.
