Twitter's board of directors unanimously decided on Musk's offer to buy the social media giant for $44 billion. "Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," Musk said in a statement. "I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spambots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential — I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it." There was plenty of reaction from the news media world as many wonder where Twitter heads with Musk now in charge of the company for the foreseeable future. Elon Musk has officially purchased Twitter for $54.20 a share. Absolutely monstrous win for free speech on social media. Feast on the left wing blue check tears as they realize their rigged marketplace of ideas is dying.

Now @elonmusk can take that advice, fire the Twitter board, and do everything necessary to restore free speech on this platform — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) April 25, 2022 Comment Like Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Barrett Media.
