Elon Musk has doubled down on his desire to relax content restrictions on Twitter.
In his first town hall event with Twitter employees since agreeing to acquire the company, Musk faced a series of questions about his stance on content moderation and reiterated his desire to allow all legal speech on Twitter , even when that includes so-called"lawful but awful" content such as extremism or abuse."I think it's essential to have free speech and for people to be able to communicate freely," Musk said.
Musk laid out some ambitious plans for the company, including his desire to grow Twitter's daily active user base from just over 200 million to"at least a billion people." Musk also said he wants to increase monetization opportunities for creators and explore potential payments features.
