After developing PayPal, Tesla and the reconquest of space via SpaceX, multi-billionaire Elon Musk shows an interest in the social network Twitter. What purpose ?

“This is not the first time that the whimsical and extravagant Elon Musk has been talked about. Latest news this week: he wants to buy the social network Twitter”, announces the journalist from France Télévisions Camille Guttin. His appearances resemble those of a rockstar. Under the cameras, Elon Musk, American multi-billionaire and boss of the electric car company Tesla, arrives at his new factory in Texas. His presentation of it is one of superlatives. “This factory is the most advanced building the Earth has ever seen,” he said.

Creator of the SpaceX company, now a NASA partner, Elon Musk is far from being content with being a simple business leader. Latest twist to date: his proposal to buy Twitter. He wants to exploit the company’s potential, but also guarantee freedom of expression, in particular by limiting the moderation rules of the network. “It’s important that people have the feeling of expressing themselves freely and that it is a reality, within the limits of the law, of course”he explained.
