Elon Musk, who was always a prolific Twitter user, seems to have doubled down on his dedication to reach out to his 88.3 million followers after his takeover bid finally came through this week, overcoming a spell of uncertainty. Now, with a debate raging that his takeover may spell trouble for the moderation policy of one of the most popular social networks in the world, the 50-year-old tech tycoon has gone on an overdrive to make his vision clear.
On Thursday, the world’s richest person shared a timeline of sorts in a meme to strike a chord with the social media users. It shows the transition from 2008 to 2021 and he seems to have taken a dig at “my fellow liberal”.
He is trying to suggest that while he was closer to the ideology of liberals in 2008, they seemed to have drifted from him by 2012 as the conservatives looked on. And by 2021, the differences widened, and it became a humorous spectacle for the people on the other side of the political spectrum.
Musk also suggested that his shift from the left of the center to the right of the center was gradual. Now, this image came hours after he had tweeted: “For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally (sic).”
