World’s richest man aims to reassure followers saying he will not seek to politicise social media network
Elon Musk has said Twitter must be “politically neutral”, in a comment posted last night after a wave of account deletions by left-leaning users on the social media network.
In the days since Musk’s $44bn (£34.5bn) acquisition offer was accepted by Twitter’s board, hundreds of thousands of users have closed their accounts on the site, the company confirmed, leading to a dip in follower numbers for left-leaning politicians and celebrities such as Barack and Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift and Jeremy Corbyn.
