The western press has vehemently opposed the idea of Elon Musk owning Twitter and is coming up with new conspiracy theories to suggest that Musk will only hamper the idea of free speech by centralising Twitter's content moderation.
While reacting to the development, Elon Musk had inquired, "How much of Twitter does the Kingdom own, directly & indirectly? What are the Kingdom’s views on journalistic freedom of speech?"
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal had announced on April 5 that Elon Musk would be appointed to the Board contingent on a background check and formal acceptance.
