Musk Reveals His Twitter Philosophy in Message to Advertisers

Elon Musk, chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, said he acquired Twitter to allay political polarization, which he argued has been fueled by traditional media.

“It is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence,” Musk shared in a statement on Twitter on Thursday morning…

Musk said he didn’t purchase Twitter “because it would be easy” or “to make more money.” Rather, he said he hopes to help humanity. “There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society,” he said.
