Musk took the lead in Twitter and became Twitter's largest shareholder.
On the morning of Monday, April 4, Eastern Time, Twitter announced the deal in a regulatory filing filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The deal was closed on March 14, according to the filing, with Musk buying nearly 73.5 million shares of Twitter stock. Based on Twitter's closing price on Friday, the deal is worth about $2.89 billion. News of the world's richest man's strong stake in Twitter sent Twitter shares soaring 25 percent. The deal is equivalent to a 9.2 percent stake in the company, making Musk the largest shareholder on Twitter, well above Twitter founder Jack Dorsey's 2 percent.
Musk, who currently has more than 80 million fans, has been fighting with Twitter, one of the world's largest social media, for many years, with love and hate.
From the beginning in 2009 through the spaceX official Twitter account to clarify: Musk himself did not enter The Twitter to become a platform user, until 2018, a 180-degree turn, lao Ma personally tweeted a clear position: Twitter is my favorite.
Recently, Musk repeatedly criticized Twitter for failing to adhere to the principle of free speech, and he also started a small survey to let a large number of fan users conduct a poll on whether the Twitter platform abided by the principle of free speech, and the results showed that more than 70% of the more than 2 million participants believed that Twitter did not do it.
Then a talk show host advised The old horse: "One of the best things about Elon Musk either buying Twitter or doing his own social platform is that you know there will be a Dogecoin tip jar." Musk directly scored 100 points! He also said that "I am seriously considering this matter." As a result, it was widely rumored that "Musk is ready to build a new social platform".
Looking back now, musk has been Twitter's largest shareholder for more than a decade at that point in time (purchased nearly 73.5 million shares on March 14, accounting for 9.2% of the shares). Therefore, he has the courage to listen to public opinion and prepare to transform Twitter.
The key question is, what will happen to Twitter after Musk takes over?
Trisolaran gravitational waves argue that the changes that could be made: Musk-era tweets will stick to the principles of free speech, be algorithmic friendly, and be as propaganda as possible. In the future, it is possible to build a global software and hardware fusion with StarLink Broadband (even not limited to StarLink), relying on hard-core technology and neutral stance to achieve idealized free access to the Internet, free and smooth information flow, and defend freedom of speech.
As for whether it will solve a small problem of "multiple Twitter accounts tracking the whereabouts of Musk's private jet" and block these accounts? It can only be said that it is possible, or wait and see, and the facts shall prevail.

A new tweet that injects Musk's voice is bound to change, both on social media itself and indirectly on the world.
Musk is becoming the world's most influential and powerful earthlings, and the first person in a future cross-planetary civilization, and sincerely hopes that Musk , a name that symbolizes bringing hope and energy to mankind, restoring people's faith in technology to improve the world and innovation to change lives.
