Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, discussed the future of the social media network in a series of tweets, saying it needed to become the world’s most reliable information source.
“Twitter needs to surpass all other sources as the world’s most reliable information provider. That’s our goal, he stated, outlining his goals for the business.
The founder of SpaceX issued a fresh warning, stating that any Twitter accounts using impersonation without explicitly stating “parody” will be permanently terminated.
Moving forward, any Twitter accounts using impersonation without explicitly stating “parody” would have their accounts permanently terminated, he said.
The business tycoon claimed that despite the clear risk to his personal safety, he would not ban the account that was tracking his jet as part of his dedication to free expression.
He said widespread verification will democratize journalism and empower the voice of the people.
Informing about Twitter’s new no-warning policy, he said, “Previously, we issued a warning before the suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning. This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.”
Additionally, Musk stated that any name change will result in a temporary loss of the verified checkmark.
Elon Musk made his first significant change to Twitter on Saturday, updating the app in the Apple App Store to start charging $8 for coveted blue check verification marks.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. and the new CEO of Twitter, announced last month that the latter will create a content moderation council with “widely different opinions.”
Before that council meets, “no significant content choices or account reinstatements will happen,” he continued.
