a few months ago when people started speculating that Elon musk will buy or create his own social media platform much thought that this was just a joke and that it would never happen but now after it happened and it is a reality Elon has a lot of opposition that he is dealing with every day one such story is related to amazon CEO jeff Bezos who publicly raised questions about potential problems that Elon musk owning Twitter might create with that a few days ago musk revealed
his next moves regarding upcoming big changes on twitter and these changes are very exciting the billionaire has often stated his desire to allow people more control over what they see on it by turning the firm private musk will be able to work on the service away from the influence of investors regulators and others if musk does take twitter private then according to statistics provided by deal logic it would be the largest deal to take a phone private in the last two decades amazon.com inc founder jeff bezos turned to twitter on tuesday to highlight elon musk's tesla's links to china after tesla's ceo a 44 billion dollar buyout of twitter became public knowledge bezos raised a provocative question the pioneer of amazon has questioned if this transition will make life tough for tesla inc in china according to the statistics china was tesla's second largest market after the united states in 2021 last year the shanghai facility generated over half the company's global sales and musk has stated that the ratio might increase by 100 furthermore chinese battery manufacturers are important suppliers for tesla's evs just before twitter revealed it had accepted elon musk's 44 billion dollar takeover offer the world's richest man wrote i hope that even my worst critics remain on twitter because that is what free speech means the world's second richest man issued a tweet expressing concern about possible
Beijing's influence on Twitter and challenged those words of Elon about free speech jeff Bezos has questioned if china will rely on Elon musk's tesla company to acquire twitter criticism of Beijing Bezos cited the new york times reporter's piece in which he emphasized the importance of China to test this company citing the fact that it was the electric car maker's second-largest market according to the tweet China may now influence twitter citing the news piece Bezos said that it raised an interesting question the question that whether or not China has gained some measure of influence over the town square he was referring to musk's tweet in which he called Twitter
the digital town square after the acquisition was made public amazon founder and ceo jeff bezos clarified his remarks in subsequent tweets saying that any chinese pressure was unlikely to be successful in the imposition of censorship he said that his answer to the question would be no bezos believes that in essence that situation more likely to happen would be a complex situation between china and tesla which would largely not affect twitter tesla has thrived in china because of china's interest in environmental sustainability tesla was able to get low interest financing and the approval to fully own its local businesses in fact elon stunned everyone when he said in shanghai i'm not sure how well it is known outside of china just how much china is a world leader in environmental sustainability it's extremely impressive moreover people throughout social media platforms are very excited about upcoming changes on twitter for example twitter co-founder jack dorsey has stated that musk is the social media site's singular solution dorsey who took twitter public in 2013 stated that the firm has been owned by wall street and that going private was the right first step according to bloomberg he owns 2.36 of the company according to dorsey's tweet in the thread twitter
as a corporation has been one of his biggest and only regrets he said that because of this regret he firmly believes that musk is the perfect man for the job to solve the issues of the social media platform as a company moreover this is not the first time the public has witnessed the two richest men in the world interacting about twitter on twitter itself a few weeks ago the world's wealthiest man tweeted that the majority of twitter's employees worked remotely musk tweeted a poll to his millions of followers on twitter in which he proposed the conversion of the san francisco headquarters of the company into a homeless shelter because almost all the employees work remotely now more than 1.5 million users voted in the poll with 91 voting yes later the poll was removed he later tweeted that he was serious about considering the idea musk's competitor in the space race bezos expressed his support for the plan the amazon founder tweeted a may 2020 post from the technology focus blog geekwa on amazon's eight story family homeless shelter next to its seattle offices stating the idea worked out beautifully and it made sense for employees who want to help bezos has also proposed turning some significant percentage of twitter's headquarters if not the entire building into a homeless shelter musk ended up agreeing to the idea in a subsequent tweet san francisco one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in has seen an increase in the number of homeless persons on the streets nonetheless there will very certainly be a lot of scrutiny twitter is not the most popular social site it has more than 217 million daily
users compared to billions on Facebook and Instagram but it has played a tremendous role in influencing global narratives political leaders have used it as an amplifier while corporations celebrities and others have utilized it to develop their image and brand but now Elon musks will be the CEO of this platform so it's not surprising that many are not happy with this transition that's it, for now, don't forget to follow me.
