NEW DELHI: As Elon Musk faces a court-ordered deadline to close his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, the Tesla chief on Thursday said that he is buying the platform to “help humanity”.
In a tweet, Musk explained why he is interested in buying the social media platform and said that he doesn’t want it to become a “free-for-all hellscape” where anything can be said with no consequences.
The message to advertisers comes a day before Musk’s October 28 deadline for closing his $44 billion deal to buy the social-media company and take it private.
“The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilisation 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 said.
