Twitter to be ‘most accurate source of information on earth’: Elon Musk

Elon Musk has vowed to make Twitter the world’s most accurate source of information, stating that his platform allows regular users to debunk confusing claims by the US government.

However, he added that he will allow a coalition of censorship advocates a say in shaping its policies.

“Our goal is to make Twitter the most accurate source of information on Earth, without regard to political affiliation,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday, under a screenshot of a user adding context to a misleading claim by the White House.

Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion last week, and immediately set about making changes to the business. The billionaire has since dissolved Twitter’s board of directors, announced plans to charge users for verification, and declared his intent to serve as the company’s CEO.

While Musk stated that his acquisition of Twitter was aimed at bringing the platform back to its free speech roots, he has not yet made any changes to its content moderation policies.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Musk said that he had met with “civil society leaders,” including representatives of the Anti-Defamation League, Color of Change and the George Bush Presidential Center, and would include such groups on Twitter’s “content moderation council.”
