In addition to “adhering to the laws of the land,” Twitter “must be warm and welcoming to all,” Elon Musk said two days before the deadline to close the Twitter acquisition deal.
“The reason I acquired Twitter is because 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. ”
Banks have started to transfer their financing, according to the Wall Street Journal, and Musk’s latest actions don’t give the indication that he’s looking to back out of the arrangement at the 11th hour: The Tesla Inc. TSLA, +0.25% chief executive visited Twitter’s TWTR, +1.15% offices Wednesday—sink in hand—and then sought to provide more information about his purchase intentions in a Thursday post to the service.
That said, Musk noted, “Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!” That means that in “addition to adhering to the laws of the land,” Twitter “must be warm and welcoming to all.”The Twitter post was directed not at the company’s users, but rather its advertisers, given Musk’s belief that people have been “wrong” in their speculation about his thoughts on ads.
