Who owns Twitter now? Or who is the owner of Twitter?

— It’s official. It’s done. Twitter is currently owned by Elon Musk.

Chances are, you’ve heard. Elon Musk is going to buy Twitter for $44 Billion.

The story goes like this: Tesla and SpaceX founder and CEO, Elon Musk bought Twitter.

Since the news about Musk’s desire for an acquisition hit the web, many users have been pondering one very important question: What does Elon Musk want to change about Twitter?

Let’s take a look at what Musk intends to do with Twitter once he acquires it.

Please write down in the comment section what changes you think Elon Musk is going to implement on Twitter or you want to see on Twitter?

Long-form tweets

Twitter has a character limit of 280. In 2017, the company expanded from 140 characters to 280 characters.

In April 2022, he said about a lengthy Twitter thread, “My most immediate takeaway from this novella of a thread is that Twitter is *way* overdue for long-form tweets!”

Elon Mask advised allowing long-form tweets on Twitter.

Remove Scams

Musk has emphasized his annoyance that “crypto scammers are throwing a spambot block party in every thread.”

He wants to clean up the site and get rid of fraudsters and bots in order to make it a safer environment for users.

Free Speech

Elon Musk claims that Twitter filtering is skewed by politics and prevents real public dialogue of ideas.

Elon Musk tweeted in March, “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.”

He also wrote on Twitter, “Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?”

Musk wants Twitter to cease restricting voices.

Open-source Algorithm

Musk is going to release the Twitter algorithm to the public. Twitter’s algorithm should be open-sourced, Musk argued at a Ted Talk.

By exposing Twitter’s algorithm, users can examine how the platform determines whether to demote or promote content and even make changes to the code.

Subscription on Twitter

Musk isn’t a fan of Twitter advertisements, claiming that they give advertising businesses too much influence over the platform.

While advertisements on the social media network are unlikely to end immediately if it wants to be financially sustainable, Musk has tweeted that he prefers a subscription-based Twitter over an ad-supported version.

Edit Button

Twitter users are going to get an edit button.

“Where’s the edit function when you really need it!?” Musk tweeted.

Musk stated at the TED2022 conference in April 2022 that he wants Twitter to feature a “edit” button and believes the issues raised by critics can be handled. “I think you only have the edit capability for a short period of time, and zero out all retweets and favorites” after an edit.

That’s all for today. Let’s wait some days to see the changes on your Twitter app!
