Elon Musk stated that after purchasing Twitter, he wanted the platform to be a completely free space. At the same time, he also announced that he will work to close fake accounts. Last night, there was a sudden drop in followers in the accounts of some left-wing users on Twitter.
After Elon Musk’s statements, some users thought that the platform was doing a preliminary cleaning because of this situation. Elon Musk, on the other hand, made a post on his own account that social media should not be politicized. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Elon Musk said Twitter should be neutral!
After the sudden decrease in followers of left-wing users on Twitter yesterday, Elon Musk stated that the platform should be politically neutral. The visible decreases in high profiles supported that Twitter closed the accounts of left-wing users. After Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter was accepted, the company may have closed hundreds of thousands of accounts.
Twitter made the following statement on the subject:
“We continue to take action for accounts that violate our spam policy and may affect follower counts. These fluctuations seem to be the result of the increase in new account creations and deactivations.”
Former US President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Katy Perry, and left-wing celebrities such as Taylor Swift have decreased in significant numbers. There was a significant rise in the accounts of celebrities who came to the fore with their right-wing views, such as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Harry Styles.
Elon Musk made the following statement on the subject:
He has to be politically neutral to deserve his trust. This means equally upsetting the far right and the far left.”
