Twitter Free Bird or Caged by Elon Musk??

"The bird is freed," Musk said in a tweet after taking control of the social media platform.
On late Thursday, Musk completed the $44 billion takeover on the eve of a court-appointed deadline to seal his on-again, off-again deal and immediately fired its Indian-origin CEO Parag Agrawal, as well as the company's other top executives. Chief financial officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde were also among those who were fired by Musk.

"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,” Musk wrote, in an unusually-long message for the billionaire Tesla CEO who typically projects his thoughts in one-line tweets.
He continued: "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."

Overnight, the New York Stock Exchange notified investors it would suspend trading in shares of Twitter before the opening bell on Friday (local time) in anticipation of the company going private under Musk.

Twitterati in India on Friday seemed divided with those against content moderation welcoming the development and others weary of the future of the social media platform that has had run-ins with the government in the country.

With the social media giant undergoing a major shake-up, it would be interesting to see how its future pans out in India where it has been marred by several controversies,

While Twitter said the action was taken as the account did not conform with its policies, those impacted had slammed the decision as an "arbitrary and gross violation of IT rules".

Musk's claim of allowing free speech on the platform has enthused many, particularly those who were banned by Twitter for violation of rules.

So it will be interesting to see whether Twitter is a free bird or caged by Elon Musk.
