\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\tJust under 2 weeks since the first bid, the board of Twitter agreed to a $44bn takeover offer from billionaire Elon Musk.\u00a0

We wanted to share some thoughts and speculations on how this change might impact the future of Twitter with Elon Musk now at the helm.\u00a0

TL;DR<\/strong>
Billionaire Elon Musk has bought Twitter. As an outspoken proponent of freedom of speech, Musk has frequently commented on Twitter\u2019s moderation and the way he believes Twitter limits freedom of speech at the expense of global society. His purchase of Twitter and its move toward becoming a private company begs questions about the future direction of the platform, particularly around how it handles moderation, the distribution of disinformation, and the limitation of harm.\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
