Musk: I Won’t Let Twitter Be “Free-For-All Hellscape”

Yahoo News reports:

Elon Musk has said he is buying Twitter to “help humanity” and create a “common digital town square” in a message ahead of the expected completion of his takeover of the site on Friday. In a statement uploaded to Twitter aimed at the platform’s advertisers, Mr Musk said he was acquiring the platform because he believed it was important to have a space where “a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner”.

“Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences,” he said. “In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature.”
