Elon Musk: Acquiring Twitter Was Painful but Necessary for Free Speech

Elon Musk: Acquiring Twitter was painful but I think nonetheless important.

“The reason I acquired Twitter is that it was important to preserve freedom of speech in America and, to the extent we are legally allowed to, in the rest of the world.

I felt like acquiring Twitter would be an important, productive step for the future of humanity. And even though it's really quite painful and has been very difficult, it was, I think, nonetheless important to do so.”
