The future of humanity is debated by the use of free speech as the basis of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated, said Mr. Musk. I want to make Twitter better than ever, by making the algorithms open source, defeating the spambots, and authenticating all humans. I look forward to working with the community and the company to unlock it. It has a lot of potential and I look forward to working with it.
