Elon Musk revealed this week that he had purchased a sizable chunk of Twitter shares, becoming the company’s largest shareholder one week after hinting that he planned to shake up the social-media industry. The Tesla chief executive is a frequent user, as well as a longtime critic, of the platform, which he has previously accused of stifling free speech. The disclosure of his stake on Monday came shortly after he teased the possibility on Twitter of creating a new social media platform, telling his more than 80 million followers that he was “giving serious thought” to the idea without revealing his stake in Twitter.
Musk’s first move should be to bring The Babylon Bee back.
