Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has hinted that he may soon come up with the idea of creating a new social media platform.
Musk responded to a Twitter user named Pranay Pothole who asked if Musk would consider creating a new social media platform, saying he is thinking about it.
“Am giving serious thought to this,” Musk wrote on the micro-blogging site.
In another Twitter poll, Musk asked “do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” and at least “70 per cent” of respondents said “no”.
“Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?” Musk wrote in a response to the poll result.
He also asked users if a new platform was required.
According to a recent study, the Tesla CEO could become the first person in history to amass a $1 trillion net worth as soon as 2024.
Musk is currently the world’s richest person, having surpassed former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos last year to claim the title.
