일론 머스크 트위터 공식 소유주로. 상장 폐지. 소유주 권한 강화. 트위터는 자유 발언의 장이 돼야 한다며 “새가 풀려났다”고 트윗. 첫 조치로 최고경영진 해고. 대규모 정리 해고 예상. 트럼프는 환영 화답. EU 집행위원장은 “우리 규칙에 따라 날아야 할 것”이라며 경고. https://t.co/gn5LDocGY9

This point @WillOremus makes about the FB council of elders, which was also made by @fmanjoo, is the smart and articulate way of saying what I was getting at in the above tweet. Once it’s a bureaucracy you can blame, it’s just a “stop emailing me” move https://t.co/vX8skcocAM pic.twitter.com/pSSysLvNgL

트위터, 일론 머스크 소유 아래 비공개로 전환할 것이나 여러 도전을 내포해
- 물론 머스크가 트위터를 비공개로 전환하면 규제 요건도 적어지고 분기별 수익 보고도 필요치 않는 등 여러 이점이 있어
- 그러나 그 길은 도전이 없는 것이 아냐https://t.co/wheMQIy22L

Elon Musk owns Twitter, but the Musk-Twitter saga is just beginning.

So far, Musk has thrown out a lot of ideas, often in the form of tweets, about how he plans to turn this very app around. Here's a brief list of his biggest proposals. Learn more: https://t.co/LYaj60ORQG pic.twitter.com/xlNTp4LxsX

Musk had said that he wants to fulfill Twitter’s potential by making it much more than a social media app: turning it into a “superapp” called X, modeled off of China’s WeChat. https://t.co/Dw3smnSnRq

From making Twitter a "free speech" platform to bringing back Trump, here are some of the most significant changes Elon Musk has signaled for the platform: https://t.co/Dw3smnSnRq

— Vox (@voxdotcom) October 28, 2022

Musk has promised to fix Twitter’s “bots” issue, which he has suggested comprise about 20% or more of the platform.

Twitter, meanwhile, has maintained that they represent less than 5% of all accounts. https://t.co/Dw3smnSnRq

— Vox (@voxdotcom) October 28, 2022

It’s official: Elon Musk owns Twitter. But if you think the Musk-Twitter saga is over, you’re sorely mistaken. The real drama is yet to come. https://t.co/LHvLlFZQlw

— Vox (@voxdotcom) October 28, 2022

If Musk is to achieve any of these goals, he will need smart people at Twitter to help him. With an already demoralized staff and his reported plan to cut 75% of the employee base, that’s going to be difficult. https://t.co/Dw3smnSnRq

— Vox (@voxdotcom) October 28, 2022

Musk has said he would reinstate former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account, which was banned for his tweets about the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. https://t.co/Dw3smnSnRq
