Tesla CEO Elon Musk had his first ever meeting with the Twitter employees ever since he made the bid to take over the micro-blogging site in a $44 billion deal. During the meeting with the employees, Musk shared his plans on how he wants to moderate content on Twitter.
Employees were asked to submit questions for Musk before the meeting. One of the employees asked Musk his views on content moderation. To which, he replied saying people should be able to “say pretty outrageous things within the law” but such outrageous things should not be amplified on the platform. Musk also said that the platform needs to be more like WeChat and TikTok it wants to achieve its goal of reaching one million customers.
"There's no WeChat equivalent outside of China. You basically live on WeChat in China. If we can recreate that with Twitter, we'll be a great success.I think Twitter can be much better at informing people of serious issues," he told Twitter staff during the meeting.
Musk who seems to have zero tolerance towards bots and spams said he wants Twitter to take strong action against bots and spams. He said that bots need to be much more expensive to have a troll army.” Musk had actually threatened to cancel the 44 billion if Twitter fails to provide him details about the bots on the platform.Musk also told the employees he wants users pay to be verified and he is also in favour of prioritising them in how Twitter ranks the tweets people see.
The Tesla Chief also hinted at layoffs in Twitter during the meeting. When employees asked Musk if layoffs are planned for the future, he said “It depends. The company does need to get healthy", as reported by CNBC.
