Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said that Twitter must remain “politically neutral” after it was announced this week that he came to a deal to purchase the social media platform.
“For Twitter to deserve public trust it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally,” Musk wrote on Twitter.
It’s the latest in a series of Twitter posts about the platform that Musk wants to take private. Earlier this week, the two parties said they agreed he would purchase it for $44 billion.
In another post, Musk wrote that attacks against him are coming in “thick and fast” but “primarily from the left, which is no surprise.” He was responding to a comment from Daily Wire commentator Ben Shapiro.
