- On the eve of his deadline to acquire Twitter to avoid a new court date, billionaire Elon Musk sought to assure advertisers the platform won’t turn into a place that’s too unsavory to spend their dollars.
- “Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences!” Musk wrote in a message on Twitter he posted with the words “Dear Twitter Advertisers.”
- The statement pushes back on the fearsome progressives who have expressed that a Musk-run Twitter would become overrun by hate speech and misinformation since Musk has said he would pull back on content moderation. Musk told advertisers in the note that most speculation about why he bought the platform “has been wrong.”
