On March 25, 2022 Elon Musk took to Twitter (as he usually does) and hinted at what some believe would be the creation of a possible Elon Social Media Platform.
Elon tweeted the following with a poll attached:
Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.
Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?
(at the time of writing this 2,35,924 votes were casted with 70.4% saying
No
Elon then followed up with tweeting a reply to the above, stating:
The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.
March 26, 2022, Elon again tweets a even bigger hint, tweeting:
Is a new platform needed?
It’s pretty amazing seeing the conversation within the tweets, many of which would support a new social platform, one that is less dictated and more first amendment friendly.
Kind of interesting to see if Elon is serious about this or just sparking conversation. I also find it interesting to see all these new social platforms in the making, including Trumps, Truth Social.
