Most of it has been wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence,\u201d Musk continued. \u201cThere is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost,\u201d Musk continued. \u201cThat is why I bought Twitter. I didn\u2019t do it because it would be easy. I didn\u2019t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!\u201d Musk concluded. \u201cIn addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leftists went into meltdown mode Thursday night after news broke that Elon Musk had officially taken over the platform and fired the company\u2019s top executives.
