Elon Musk Going to Build His Own Social Network

Elon Musk is a well-known supporter of free speech and speaks openly about global events in his accounts. In particular, he has repeatedly spoken out about how Twitter and its privacy policies undermine the foundations of democracy. He recently conducted a survey on his profile among followers, which showed that the vast majority (70%) do not believe that Twitter adheres to the principles of free speech.

One of the users asked Musk about creating his own social network with open source and no propaganda. The head of Tesla and SpaceX replied that he was considering such an option. There are no details regarding this project yet. So we look forward to furthering news. We assume it is still in its early stages and not even in development yet. However, Elon Musk can be expected to launch his own platform soon.

This short dialog is quite typical for the current situation in the digital sphere. Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks have recently been subjected to regular accusations of unfair content moderation policies, negative impact on users, and much more. This crisis can be the starting point for creating a new, more modern, free platform for exchanging opinions and information.

Of course, it is not the first step in this direction, and attempts have already been made to create alternative social networks. It is worth, for example, recalling Truth Social by Donald Trump (after he was blocked on Twitter), Parler, Rumble, Getty, and many others. Unfortunately, none of these sites and apps has become popular enough to create real competition.

Do you think Elon Musk will be able to create an alternative social network? Are you an adherent of free speech? Or do you believe that a certain amount of censorship is necessary to contain conflicts?
