Elon Musk has officially picked up Twitter for a whopping 44 million

Elon Musk has gotten into trouble with Twitter countless times. That is, through making some insensitive remarks or sharing posts that are inappropriate. 

Elon Musk and Twitter come to an agreement

In March, Elon Musk bought roughly nine percent in shares from Twitter. That is more than the previous owner of Twitter ever had himself. 

As shared by Vogue, if Musk owns Twitter, it can either be a good or a bad thing but most are thinking that it can be a bad thing. 

Thus far, Musk and some of the shareholders have had private meetings in which Elon has shared his plans for the company. 

The billionaire’s plans for Twitter

Some of his wishes for the popular platform is to allow freedom of speech to its users as a large number of people has been banned from the platform because of it. 

On Monday, former president, Donald Trump made it clear that even if his account is reinstated, he will not return to Twitter. As he focuses on getting his own platform up and running.

Another plan for Twitter from Elon Musk includes adding an edit button and getting fewer spam messages on the platform. Which can be frustrating to many of its users. 

Right now, one of the concerns about freedom lies in more hate speech making its rounds on social media. But, only time will tell how things will unravel with the platform’s newest owner. 

This past weekend, Twitter has been in talks with Elon Musk as they were considering his offer to buy the platform. Now, it seems that Twitter has accepted his offer of 44 million. Roughly, $56 dollars in share price.

Recently, the business owner welcomed another baby with his ex-girlfriend Grimes through surrogate.
