Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has somewhat confirmed the apprehension of critics by revealing that Twitter has interfered in elections and has been untrustworthy in terms of safety for a very long time. He wrote in a tweet: “Exactly. The obvious reality, as long-time users know, is that Twitter has failed in trust and safety for a very long time and has interfered in elections.” In the same tweet, Musk included the promise that, with his guidance, Twitter 2.0 will become more efficient and open.”Twitter 2.0 will be far more effective, transparent, and even-handed,” he added.
The billionaire, however, has not named any particular elections which were influenced by the social media platform. The new CEO was responding to comments made by Yoel Roth, the microblogging platform’s former head of safety and trust.
In his first interview since leaving Twitter, Roth accused Musk of running Twitter like a dictator. He also criticized the lack of content moderation.
‘Not named any election’
He, however, did not elaborate on how Twitter interfered in elections. Neither he elaborated on how Twitter interfered in elections. Twitter’s content moderation policy has always been a bone of contention between the company and conservatives, who have accused the company of implementing the policy in a one-sided manner. Responding to Roth’s comments, Musk said that Twitter failed in public trust and safety for a long time and “has interfered in elections.”
Misunderstanding to be removed soon
Meanwhile, Elon Musk tweeted that the misunderstanding about Twitter possibly being removed from Apple Inc.’s App Store had been resolved following his meeting with iPhone maker CEO Tim Cook. “Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so,” the billionaire CEO of Twitter and Tesla Inc said in a tweet. The NDTV on Monday reported that Musk accused Apple of threatening to block Twitter from its app store without saying why in a series of tweets that also said it had stopped advertising on the social media platform. He had later tagged Cook’s Twitter account in another tweet, asking, “What’s going on here?”
