After adding Twitter to his empire, billionaire Elon Musk offered a number of hints about possible changes to the social media platform.

In a report for the American newspaper "New York Times", writer Milena Delicic touched on the main areas that Musk could focus on.

Freedom of Expression and Content Moderators

Musk has repeatedly expressed his concerns about content moderators being overly intrusive on what he calls a "virtual town square" online platform.

"Freedom of expression is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital city arena in which discussion of matters vital to the future of humanity takes place," Musk said.

"I want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the platform with new features, making open-source algorithms to increase trust, deter random bots, and authenticate [accounts] for all humans." users to make it open.

Dealing with Trump's account

Musk has not publicly commented on how he intends to deal with former President Donald Trump's banned Twitter account, but his comments about free speech have fueled speculation that his owned Twitter could reinstate Trump's account, which was banned on the platform over the past year following the January 6 riots. The second is in the Capitol, after which he was accused of violating Twitter policy by inciting violence among his supporters.

For his part, the former president, notorious for his dissenting tweets from his critics, is trying to launch his own website, Social Truth, which has struggled to attract users.

The situation is likely to worsen after Musk suggested changing the rules for moderating content on Twitter.

In a recent interview, Trump expressed his decision not to return to Twitter again.

algorithm

Musk has outlined his plans to make the company's algorithm an open source model, which will allow users to see code that shows how certain posts appear in their timelines.

He made it clear that open source would be better than "vaguely promoting or flooding tweets without any insight into what might happen next".

Musk has also referred to the platform's politicization in the past, recently stating in a tweet that "the policies of any social media platform would be fine if 10% of the far left and right are not satisfied."

Who uses the platform and how?

Before Musk offered to buy Twitter this April, he expressed concern about the importance of the platform.

When one account posted a list of the 10 most followed accounts on Twitter, including that of former President Barack Obama and pop stars Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, Musk replied, "Most of these accounts rarely tweet, and they post very little content."

Most recently, the Tesla CEO promised - in a tweet - that he would "eliminate random bots, or die trying."
