Elon Musk to build his own Twitter competitor

-

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is now considerin­g creating his own social media platform. Ironically, on Twitter, the billionair­e discussed his plans to create his own social media network similar to Twitter. Musk was asked on Twitter if he would “consider establishi­ng a social media platform based on an open source algorithm that prioritise­d free speech and had less propaganda.” “I’m giving serious attention to this,” he said. This developmen­t comes just after Musk ran a Twitter poll asking users if they believed Twitter adheres to the principle of free speech. He wrote, “The consequenc­es of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.” The overall ballet was revealed as 70 percent of people voted “no”. However, to date, none of the new competitor­s has managed to gain as much traction, and instead have simply just carved out their own small niche and continue to operate with a small chunk of users.
