On April 25, 2022, the social media platform Twitter accepted a deal to be acquired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Under the deal, Musk is buying Twitter for $54.20 per share, or about $44 billion in total.
In his first tweet after the deal, Musk said he hoped the company would continue to provide a platform for people to express their different opinions. In addition, Musk also said that he wants to make Twitter's algorithm public in order to be transparent about the specific logic of content recommendation and blocking.
After the successful acquisition of Twitter, Musk tweeted "the bird is freed," meaning "Twitter is free" (Twitter's brand logo is a blue bird), and restored former US President Donald Trump's account. Earlier, Trump's account was permanently suspended by Twitter for his comments on the riots in the US Capitol. In response to the situation, many Trump supporters have left a "welcome back" message in the comments section. Later, the BBC conducted an interview with Musk, in which the reporter asked Musk:"If someone offers you $44 Billion for right now, would you take it?"
Elon Musk:-"No! I don't care about the money. It's really important to have a source of Truth."

2022年4月25日,社交媒體平臺推特公司接受了特斯拉首席執(zhí)行官埃隆·馬斯克的收購協(xié)議。根據(jù)協(xié)議,馬斯克以每股54.2美元,總計約440億美元的價格收購推特。
馬斯克在收購協(xié)議達成后發(fā)布的第一條推特上表示,希望該公司能夠繼續(xù)為人們提供表達不同意見的平臺。此外,馬斯克還表示希望將推特公司的算法進行公開,以透明化內(nèi)容推薦和屏蔽的具體邏輯。
成功收購推特后,馬斯克發(fā)文稱“the bird is freed”,意為“推特自由了”(推特的品牌標志是一只藍色的小鳥),并恢復了美國前總統(tǒng)特朗普的賬號。此前特朗普因針對美國會大廈騷亂事件發(fā)表相關言論,被推特永久凍結賬號。對于這一情況,不少特朗普的支持者紛紛在評論區(qū)留言“歡迎回來”。
此后,BBC對馬斯克進行了采訪,訪談中記者詢問馬斯克:“如果現(xiàn)在有人給你440億美元買下推特,你會接受嗎?”
埃隆·馬斯克:“不!我不在乎錢,有一個真相的來源是非常重要的?!?br />
