What will Elon Musk change on Twitter?

Even though Elon Musk hasn’t revealed his plans for Twitter when he owns the company, we know from his recent tweet the changes you want to bequeath to the platform. Here are a few.

Freedom of speech. A question always open to debate as it is difficult to define the line of freedom of expression. Can you lie?, can you insult? We’ll see what happens in the future, but this measure could restore Donald Trump’s long-blocked Twitter account.
open-source algorithm. This is intended to be more transparent, so that it is clear what is allowed and what is not, what will appear to you and what ads you will see.

Delete non-human accounts or robots. A clear objective, behind every Twitter account there must be a human person and not a robot which is dedicated solely to creating opinion trends.
edit button. While this is something that was already in development, Musk has been asking for it for years, so it’s one of the first steps we’re sure to see.
