Tesla Co-founder and CEO Elon Musk I asked out loud Twitter Whether another platform was needed, which prompted millions of his followers to ask him to buy the social media giant.
“Given that Twitter serves as a de facto public square for the town, failure to adhere to the principles of free speech fundamentally undermines democracy,” Musk wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “What needs to be done?”
“Is a new platform needed?” asked Musk in a subsequent blog post.
Musk’s 79.1 million followers immediately demanded that he either buy Twitter himself or create a new platform.
“Buy this one!!!” Cristina Buchou, press secretary for Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, responded.
“Yes,” former CIA analyst and conservative radio host Buck Sexton tweeted. “Buy Twitter or please create one. Save the country from these Silicon Valley psychics.”
“Buy Twitter,” radio host Jason Rantz wrote in a tweet.
