Elon Musk wants to create a new social network

Test post on Twitter, Elon Musk, CEO of electric car company Tesla, said he could build a completely new social networking platform. This intention comes from the fact that he thinks Twitter does not have enough freedom of speech.

“Freedom of speech is a necessary condition of democracy. Is Twitter following this principle correctly?” asked Tesla CEO, and created a user survey. “The results of the survey are very important. Therefore, consider carefully before choosing,” he emphasized.

The results showed that more than 70% of people said that Twitter did not follow the guidelines. Therefore, Elon Musk asserted that the platform was unable to build an environment that allows users free speech, which is contrary to the goal of democracy. He wants to build a platform with open-source algorithms while prioritizing freedom of speech and limiting information propaganda.

At noon on March 27, Elon Musk tweeted: “Do we need a new social network”, attracting a large amount of attention. Nearly 250,000 people like and more than 5,000 people share his post.

According to Fox Business, Twitter has been criticized for years by conservatives for restricting freedom of speech.

If Elon Musk’s intentions come true, he will join the team of technology companies that aim to free speech of the public’s, and at the same time attract a large number of users on other social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, Reuters reported.

New platforms like Truth Social of former US President Donald Trump, Gettr, Parler or Rumber have yet to capture the public’s attention or achieve their goals of free speech.

According to Bloomberg, last week, Elon Musk filed a petition in Manhattan Federal Court to rescind the 2018 agreement, arguing that the control of the content posted on Twitter became ineffective and hindered his freedom of speech. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) later denied this request. As a result, his Twitter posts will continue to be monitored by the SEC and must be approved before posting.
