Following the acquisition of microblogging company Twitter by global tycoon Elon Musk, radical changes are taking place in the app & web application. Twitter which was a ‘public’ company is being transformed into a private company. As the head of Tesla and SpaceX companies, Musk, the world's giant, has now added a new dimension to Twitter, with the potential to turn it into a brand image. Elon Musk has already announced on Twitter that he will fight for freedom of speech. Microbloggers' opinion was gathered on Twitter and put to a vote. The lion's share of netizens voted in favor of Musk's ambition.
Freedom of speech on Twitter is information that will bring about huge changes in the way limited letters are used in each tweet. When the reign of Twitter began 16 years ago, only 71-100 characters were allowed in a single tweet. After that, it was increased to 208 characters. This year it has reached 280 characters. However, those who make big posts are doing two or three tweets putting what they want to say in the form of a photo. Elon Musk is likely to make concessions in this regard. While Twitter initially decided to give this opportunity to its paid subscribers (Blue subscriptions), Musk seems to be inclined to give everyone that chance.
There are indications that he will lift 'control over the content. Though he opposed deleting tweets in the name of violence, misinformation, and provocative comments, Elon Musk is likely to continue the existing Twitter policies. Reportedly, he plans to do changes Twitter's existing policies. Freedom of Speech, the Edit button, and eliminating the robots are some of the new policies. Eliminating all bots from Twitter is the key change. If it is implemented fake accounts will be eliminated. As per the research, 15% of Twitter accounts are maintained by bots, not human beings. Twitter is now his own property like SpaceX and Tesla. Now, he can remove tweets against his brands. Twitter account holders will see more changes in the coming months.
