On April 25, 2022, the social media platform Twitter accepted a deal to be acquired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Under the deal, Musk is buying Twitter for $54.20 per share, or about $44 billion in total.
In his first tweet after the deal, Musk said he hoped the company would continue to provide a platform for people to express their different opinions. In addition, Musk also said that he wants to make Twitter's algorithm public in order to be transparent about the specific logic of content recommendation and blocking.
After the successful acquisition of Twitter, Musk tweeted "the bird is freed," meaning "Twitter is free" (Twitter's brand logo is a blue bird), and restored former US President Donald Trump's account. Earlier, Trump's account was permanently suspended by Twitter for his comments on the riots in the US Capitol. In response to the situation, many Trump supporters have left a "welcome back" message in the comments section. Later, the BBC conducted an interview with Musk, in which the reporter asked Musk:"If someone offers you $44 Billion for right now, would you take it?"
Elon Musk:-"No! I don't care about the money. It's really important to have a source of Truth."

2022年4月25日,社交媒体平台推特公司接受了特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克的收购协议。根据协议,马斯克以每股54.2美元,总计约440亿美元的价格收购推特。
马斯克在收购协议达成后发布的第一条推特上表示,希望该公司能够继续为人们提供表达不同意见的平台。此外,马斯克还表示希望将推特公司的算法进行公开,以透明化内容推荐和屏蔽的具体逻辑。
成功收购推特后,马斯克发文称“the bird is freed”,意为“推特自由了”(推特的品牌标志是一只蓝色的小鸟),并恢复了美国前总统特朗普的账号。此前特朗普因针对美国会大厦骚乱事件发表相关言论,被推特永久冻结账号。对于这一情况,不少特朗普的支持者纷纷在评论区留言“欢迎回来”。
此后,BBC对马斯克进行了采访,访谈中记者询问马斯克:“如果现在有人给你440亿美元买下推特,你会接受吗?”
埃隆·马斯克:“不!我不在乎钱,有一个真相的来源是非常重要的。“
