The bird is free. That's the message the world's richest man, Elon Musk, gave shortly after he bought Twitter and added "Chief Tweet" to his profile. In today's world where everyone seems to be saying that what they see is actually the magic of social media, Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter is not uncommon given that Twitter is the most popular and fastest growing social media platform. Used by millions and sometimes millions of people simultaneously
An event happened here and tweets started pouring in. Remember, a tweet is a message or expression of opinion, which is made by a Twitter account holder. By the way, it will not be out of place to say that tweets have created a revolution in today's world. Well, Twitter was already popular, but the former US President, Donald Trump, significantly increased the importance of tweets by using them instead of official press releases, and now tweets have a central place in government affairs and politics. All the important personalities of the world are not only present on Twitter, but are also active on this platform
Since its inception, Twitter has been very free in that anyone on Twitter can freely express their opinion on any incident. Then there is the convenience of having to apologize if the news is wrong in the mainstream media, There is, while on social media no one bothers to deny or apologize in such a situation. More and more tweets are deleted or replaced by a corrected tweet. He was a staunch opponent of Trump from the beginning
Since Trump did not trust the bureaucracy, he used to express his position directly on important issues. Then, following in their footsteps, many heads of state, especially populist and nationalist leaders, started giving their every position on Twitter. Will it stay relevant is an important question, because Twitter is a source of fascination for the whole world, but it is generally quite important for politicians, celebrities, etc
How much opportunity this platform has to maintain its reputation or advance policies will be decided in the future, it all depends on the decision of Elon Musk. But one thing is certain that there can be no protest against Elon Musk or his policies, at least on Twitter. It should be noted that former American President Trump was banned by Twitter, but Elon Musk has restored his account.
Elon Musk is a well-known figure in the developed world, especially in the business community. He is an American entrepreneur and the world's richest person. . His assets are worth 250 billion dollars. It is estimated that Musk have enough wealth that they alone can support big countries
However, like the most prominent businessman in the world, he invests his wealth in various projects very thoughtfully. Musk's commercial success began with his internet company, PayPal, which he started in South Africa
Later, he moved to the US and currently owns more than half a dozen international companies, which now include Twitter. Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk for $44 billion. By the way, Elon Musk, Tesla company. He made his mark in the business world as a chief executive, but his real world fame came after his decision to participate in the US space program (NASA). When NASA decided that it would allow private investors to participate in its space program, in order to reduce the burden on the government to invest in the sector (remember, NASA's programs include re-landing on the moon and Mars). (but including landing humans), so Elon Musk joined the program and announced "space taxis." The name of his space agency is "SpaceX".
Remember, people can take a trip to space in these space taxis, and in this regard, people have already traveled in the first taxi. In fact, Musk's dream is to establish human settlements on Mars together with NASA. His electric car, Tesla, has also made a big splash in the industry. In other words, he is a complete success story and has multiplied his capital so far. And now the purchase of Twitter is one of their major developments in media, especially social media
Changes in "Twitter"
One of the first things Elon Musk did when he came in was to fire all the executive staff, including. Remember, Another major change was the extension of working hours, which resulted in staff protests that either left Twitter on their own or were fired by the company. Experts say that now it is to be seen how Elon Musk will be able to run the company, without the important employees of the company or how he will be able to find a replacement for these employees. But one thing is certain, that Elon Musk will be the brain and hand of Twitter now
However, before buying Twitter, he has been criticizing that Agarwal is not using it properly. Elon Musk says he wants Twitter to be free, but the key here is what he means by freedom, freedom of speech, or the freedom to speak only in support of Musk. Now it is difficult to say what kind of change he wants to bring in the Twitter application, but by removing the old staff, it is obvious that Elon Musk has a different vision 'and' he wants Twitter to function according to him.
For this purpose, it would be too early to say what kind of staff, especially in the field of engineering, but it is not possible that a businessman like Musk would build a company without any plans. Buy it. They must have already decided what benefits they want to get from Twitter. Musk once said that he wants to provide a common digital town square to existing civilizations, that is, the place where all civilizations meet, that is, the world is a town and Twitter is its intersection.
He also said that he wants to give more freedom, but its limits are defined in the US law that it is not unlimited and if someone takes such a step, which is in conflict with the law, then he has to face court proceedings. Remember, Twitter has had its own style and approach, that is, it has made little inroads into the commercial arena, and Elon Musk has said that he will run under the same system for now, but experts say. That they might expand the platform further, like China's "WeChat" app
Calling their new app Musk X. Looking at this, experts say that this app will be a super app style, which will have many facilities in one place. For example, messaging, financial transactions, food orders, shopping, etc. Twitter's entry into the media has really changed messaging. Well, it was invented to convey the voice of the common man to the world, but it benefited politicians and big personalities the most. Many rulers and celebrities of the world have more than five million followers. The most important thing is that it has directly connected a common man and a great personality
People feel that their favorite personalities are addressing them directly. It is true that a tweet from a political leader creates the same enthusiasm in the public as a public meeting. Also, most importantly, a chain of more tweets starts on the tweet. 'Thus' the word, whether true or false, spreads like wildfire. This is the reason why political parties and institutions have now created regular social media teams, which monitor every incident and drive trends, so that people speak in their favor. Twitter is a user-friendly platform, where anyone can create an account. That's why Twitter is the most widespread social media platform and important tool today
When Donald Trump finally went on the offensive, Twitter banned him, which he suffered at a time when the mainstream media was already against him. Even in our country, the people who are unusually dependent on social media, the loss of Twitter in the hands of Elon Musk will be a cause of concern. Especially since the platform is American. We have repeatedly expressed that all these social media platforms can be very risky as they have no code of conduct. They only follow the policies of their owners.
That's why platforms like Twitter can be effective immediately, but relying on them for a long time, making political policies based on them, may not prove to be very beneficial for governments and political parties. The Arab Spring is the best example of how regimes were overthrown in a matter of days or weeks, and big rulers lost their power
No one could have imagined that he would be dethroned like this, but the subsequent story is very disappointing, as the revolution brought about by social media did not last long. Governments and rulers have gone, but the people have gone too. The stability of the country is also gone
And social media didn't help either. The messages on Twitter continued to be spread mostly by the youth, who had no experience in politics, governance or economy, and were simply blind followers. The question now is whether Elon Musk will encourage such revolutions or try to stabilize the world and bring it to a single platform, with the common good of civilizations.
