Under Musk\u2019s management, Twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation, with your brand attached, polluting our information ecosystem in a time where trust in institutions and news media is already at an all-time low. Your ad dollars can either fund Musk\u2019s vanity project or hold him to account. We call on you to demand Musk uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety, and to pull your advertising spending from Twitter if they are not.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWho funds these organizations that want to control your access to information? Let\u2019s investigate \u2026\u201d Musk responded in a tweet. \u201cSunlight is the best disinfectant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter comes after Twitter\u2019s board of directors unanimously approved an acquisition by Musk last week in a $44 billion sale valued at $54.20 per share.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAttacks are coming thick and fast, primarily from the left, which is no surprise, however I should be clear that the right will probably be a little unhappy too,\u201d Musk said last week in reference to the response his purchase of the platform had generated. \u201cMy goal is to maximize area under the curve of total human happiness, which means the ~80% of people in the middle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk added in a separate tweet, \u201cFor Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
