Recently, Musk successfully acquired Twitter, the price is a staggering $44 billion, build cars and rockets, Musk, a realistic version of "Iron Man", why insist on acquiring Twitter? Is it really because it is not pleasant to use, rich and willful?
Let's first look at what Musk himself said about the acquisition of Twitter, saying on the offer letter of the acquisition, "I invested in Twitter because I believe it has the potential to become a global free speech platform", and he added that "Twitter has extraordinary potential." I'm going to release it."
It's clear that there are two key points to the Musk acquisition, one is freedom of speech and the other is extraordinary potential.
First of all, talk about freedom of speech, everyone knows that Musk is a whimsical person, yearning for absolute freedom of speech, his own speech is very personal, but he has been banned by Twitter many times, his good friend Trump was directly banned by Twitter, and his other good friend, the former CEO of Twitter, also resigned because he was dissatisfied with the political interference of the control of Twitter Capital. Privatization" to fulfill his expectations for Twitter.
Curious, will Twitter really have free speech in the future? You know, in the Russian-Ukrainian war, Sino-US game and other issues, Twitter has always been one of the weapons of Western forces to control public opinion and create rumors, for example, some time ago, the Twitter platform implemented a new regulation, following the Russian official media news link was "specially marked", the official media of China and Iran have also received such "treatment". At that time, the outside world commented that this was "another big laughing stock of so-called liberal democracy." ”
When social platforms become tools of national war, how can Musk maintain the so-called absolute freedom of speech in such a situation?
Also, will There be a chance for Tweet under Musk's control to enter China in the future? Twitter will surely become one of the closed loops of Musk's integrated business empire in the future, closely linked to satellites, cars, and mobile phones. Due to the huge size of the Chinese market, it is not excluded that Musk will seek to introduce Twitter into China through certain improvement compromises.
For China, this is both an opportunity and a challenge, the opportunity is that through Twitter, China can strive to tell the Chinese story more smoothly in the field of world public opinion, and the challenge is that external forces are more likely to influence China through public opinion. Therefore, if we really want to introduce Twitter, then we should have relevant legislation to better manage social platforms, and at the moment of road confidence and theoretical confidence, I don't think we have to be afraid of such challenges!
In addition to being rich and willful, Musk, as a businessman, of course, can't buy Twitter just to export evil, he said that Twitter has extraordinary potential, will release it, what potential, how to release it?
We know that Musk is building cars and rockets, and his business empire is actually a huge plan for the integration of heaven and earth. Through the 4400 star chain to achieve global communication interconnection, through the connection of cars, mobile phones and satellites to integrate the world, the future of people's travel and communication will be in Musk's hands.
Now that the hardware is available, it is natural to need software, Twitter as a social platform is one of the software musk needs, Twitter now has more than 500 million registered accounts, the big data of these users, will be able to better help Musk achieve his own business map.
It is worth our vigilance that Musk's acquisition of Twitter will strengthen the scenario-based application of StarLink, but Musk has a close relationship with the US military, and its Starlink program is officially funded and used by the United States, which can be seen from the satellite services provided by StarLink to Ukraine during the Russo-Ukrainian War. At present, there are more than 1700 starlinks in orbit, with a total plan of 4400 satellites, which has greatly occupied satellite orbit resources, and it is necessary to know that ground orbit satellites are non-renewable resources, and once the United States occupies the optimal resources, we will be very passive. Therefore, we should take precautions and make more efforts and responses in related fields in order to be invincible in the future competition.
