New Delhi: Elon Musk agreed to buy Twitter Inc for $44 billion in cash. This will give the world’s richest individual control of the social media network, which is used by millions of people and world leaders. Mr Musk has the approval of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, but experts and activists have pointed out that the focus now will be on awareness and profit rather than supporting healthy online dialogues. Mr Muck’s investment, said to fellow billionaire and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, offers China “a little influence over the town square.” Mr Musk has been a harsh opponent of Twitter’s regulations, frequently expressing his dissatisfaction with the way the company operates. The material filtering policy of Twitter is one of the complaints raised by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
