I think that’s exactly why he invested, and now became the largest share holder. Musk said, “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” and asked followers, “do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” Over 70% answered ‘No,’ with just under 30% answering, ‘Yes,’ which prompted Musk to write: “Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?” He went on to ask “is a new platform needed?” Many were in agreement, but some even suggested that Musk, “just buy Twitter,” with one user joking that he should “change the bird logo to a doge,” to which he replied, “haha that would be sickkk.”

If Twitter bans Musk, Musk can fire the CEO for that. Too bad Trump didn't think about that! 🤣
The question is whether Twitter can make any decision at all, without Musk's consent. Maybe with 9.2% he even has the power to block decisions in general. But maybe that is only the case with 25 %. Don't know the law.
Thank you for the re-cap on these quotes from Musk, it's very helpful when people who comment fill in these details. I try to follow up on things that I read, but this was so well-written. I know that's weird to thank someone for, but its just that helpful. Thank ya
My prediction is he will pretend to be a champion of free speech...which will increase the stock value (and sell more shares) and then he will sell and make a huge profit from the human desire for any inkling of justice left in the world.
I really doubt it. Musk won't be banned but if you think bannings will stop or all the people banned can come back that's wishful thinking. Maybe if he controlled 20% and then an army of small investors committed to buying it up could the oust the board snd woke activists within the company but that's wishful thinking and probably a few years away
