Elon Musk, who broke the gap between the two richest people in the world, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, reached another level by purchasing Twitter yesterday. The billionaire, who paid 44 billion dollars for Twitter, one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, settled on the agenda of the whole world.
With the announcement of the purchase, the changes to be experienced on Twitter began to be discussed in the social media. While new regulations and investments created excitement in users, many business people were not satisfied with this purchase.
“May be China’s propaganda machine”
Indeed, one of them, Jeff Bezos, recently called Musk’s Twitter a ‘digital city square’. “Interesting question. Has the Chinese government gained some pressure on the town square?” said. Jeff Bezos, who also states that he is curious about how this process will develop and that Musk is extremely good at solving such complexities, will probably follow the events closely.
Sharing on Twitter on the subject, Jeff Bezos said that Elon Musk may want to influence China for Tesla’s future. He had previously run ads on Twitter to promote articles by Chinese state media opposing the Hong Kong protests in 2019. After the development, Twitter decided not to broadcast advertisements on state televisions and removed these shares.
Posting two more Tweets after the first Tweet he shared, Jeff Bezos, referring to his own question, said, “My own answer to this question is probably no. The more likely outcome in this regard is the tweets on Twitter. rather than censorship, it’s the complexity in China for Tesla.” and “But we’ll see. Musk is extremely good at navigating such complexities.” He shared his notes.
In addition, although it has been banned in its country since 2009, China, which sees Twitter as a propaganda tool in the international arena, has not been able to operate in this field for the last three years. According to Jeff Bezos, propaganda can start again after Elon Musk buys Twitter.
Why is the Elon Musk-China relationship so important?
Elon Musk’s electric car company Tesla makes the highest sales in China after the USA. China, which is a very important market for the company, is also important as the first country where the manufacturer established a factory outside the USA. Tesla, under the management of Musk, who established this factory with the support of the government, started to operate in the country as the first foreign car company that was not Chinese but operated an entire factory.
