This shows he has always been conscious of Twitter&#8217;s bots and fake accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And today, he described what his plan may entail while clarifying that he doesn\u2019t believe human authentication is needed to use Twitter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk thinks that anonymity can help people to express their political views freely. This has been his priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/live-blog\/2022-06-15\/elon-musk-addresses-twitter-staff-meeting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg said<\/a> that Musk proposed a suggestion that users can pay to be authenticated as humans via a tool, and the users\u2019 tweets may be ranked above others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concerning content moderation, the Tesla CEO maintained his former statement that users could say \u201cpretty outrageous things&#8221; provided that those thoughts are legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On its business side, the tech billionaire said he wants the social media app to have more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2022\/06\/16\/technology\/elon-musk-twitter-meeting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one billion users<\/a>, given that Twitter currently has 229 million daily active users based on the last quarterly report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk believes that user growth will support his other Twitter ideas. He wants Twitter to make more profit via in-app payments, advertising, and creator features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though Twitter has launched some creator products such as super follows and tipping and ticketed spaces, creators don&#8217;t rely on Twitter for income, whereas operating an effective YouTube account could be a viable pathway or career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEO also disclosed that he wants Twitter to be like China\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wechat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WeChat<\/a>, stating that WeChat&#8217;s users live on the app because it combines messaging, social media, games, payments, and calling into one platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk complimented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a>, founded by ByteDance, a Chinese company, for keeping its users entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it&#8217;s still unclear when, how, or whether this idea and deal may close as Musk wants more Twitter information about how the number of accounts isn&#8217;t real humans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, the stock market has suffered while reducing Tesla and Twitter stocks and putting the billionaire in a bind as Twitter wants him to honor the $44 billion offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite everything, Musk still claims to love Twitter and is committed enough to answer staff questions. For him, \u201cSome people use their hair to express themselves. I use Twitter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/mohamed_hassan-5229782\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=7159200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mohamed Hassan<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=7159200\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixabay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk fielded questions concerning free speech and bots during an all-hands Twitter meeting.&nbsp; He addressed Twitter staff for the first time during an all-hands Q&amp;A meeting, in which he provided more details about his plans for Twitter.
