Breaking News: Musk to Rename Twitter
CEO thinks free speech needs more bite
Friday, 21 January 2023, San Francisco. Elon Musk announced to rename Twitter. The surprise move comes after weeks of unprecedented changes since Musk bought the microblogging platform and took over as CEO.
In a statement to The Kraken News, Musk said a little tweeting bird did not sufficiently represent his vision of the company and its values. “Free speech needs more bite. As I said several times, Twitter is the world’s town square. I’m convinced there was more biting on town squares in the old days.”
Asked about the concern of rising fake news on Twitter since his takeover, Musk said he had already warned The New York Times of spreading fake news. Next, he would put the newspaper into a new naughty corner — the cage. “I’ll send them to the cage next while the critters run free.”
The billionaire also hinted at a plan to offer verification badges in colours other than blue because “Hell yeah! They pay for that!”
Musk refused to provide further insights into his business plans before his autobiography, “Elon and the Three Musketeers,” hits the market.
