Elon Musk Posted in Twitter a post in which he gave his reasons for buying the microblogging social network. He did so on Thursday, a few hours after he entered the company’s facilities in San Francisco, California.
The tycoon again used his Twitter profile to clarify his intentions to the more than 110 million users on the controversial acquisition.
“The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important for the future of civilization have a common digital public square, where a wide range of beliefs can be discussed in a healthy way, without resorting to violence “, explained the billionaire.
He added: “At the moment there is a great danger social networks are divided into extreme right and extreme left echo chambers that generate more hatred and divide our society “,
Tesla and SpaceX CEO has made his entrance load a porcelain sink and tweeted: “Upon entering Twitter HQ, take note!”
Musk’s $ 44 billion deal to take over the social network faces a due date Fridayalthough the video he posted does not offer any evidence that the acquisition has already been completed.
The tycoon also changed his Twitter profile description to “Main Tweet”and its location at the headquarters, which is headquartered in San Francisco.
“Enter Twitter HQ – let it sink!” Musk tweeted, playing a pun on “sink” (of which “lavamanos” is one of the many meanings of him), which roughly translates to: “Going into Twitter HQ, take note!” ‘
This particular video – a classic Musk production – also put the spotlight back on the richest man in the world and his intermittent attempts to acquire the social network.
The Delaware Court of Chancellery this month ruled the Friday deadline for closing the deal.

It’s the latest move in an epic battle during which Musk signed a deal to buy the company but then tried to pull out, prompting Twitter to sue Tesla’s CEO to force him to go through with the deal. If both parties miss Friday’s deadline, the next step could be the trial in November.
Robert Anderson, a law professor at Pepperdine University, said he expects the deal to close before the deadline, but he didn’t see much in Musk’s video. “I don’t see anything unusual about that other than the fact that he had a sink,” he said.
Musk was due to visit Twitter this week and is expected to return again on Friday if the deal goes through, according to an inside note cited in a Bloomberg News report.
The Washington Post reported last week that Musk told potential investors this expects to cut 75% of 7,500 employees of Twitter once it takes over the company. The newspaper cited anonymous documents and sources with knowledge of the situation.
Hours after posting his sink video, Musk tweeted that he was meeting “a lot of great people on Twitter today.”
