Twitter owner Elon Musk has said that the platform “needs to be politically neutral’ in order to regain ‘public trust’ and effectively this means “upsetting the far right and the far left equally.”
Musk engaged with Twitter users over the idea of political neutrality and said his goal is to “maximise area under the curve of total human happiness, which means the ~80% of people in the middle” and to do so, he has to upset both the right wingers and the Left. “Attacks are coming thick and fast, primarily from the left, which is no surprise, however I should be clear that the right will probably be a little unhappy too,” he wrote.
