On the other hand, in all that concerns negative content, which the media claims is breaking records since the billionaire who supports freedom of expression took over, Musk actually claims that the situation is the opposite: the exposure to hate speech has decreased, although not sharply. Only the reports of exposure to such content took off after Musk took over – but within a few days they came back down, which may indicate that they were a kind of planned campaign from the beginning, or alternatively a temporary mistake that was soon corrected.

Musk summarized the plans for the future into four slides, which say a lot: first, encrypted private messages – which may make Twitter a competitor to WhatsApp; Longer tweets (in response to a tweeter who responded and suggested raising the current limit to 420 characters – a joke that Musk often uses and is part of the cannabis consumption culture – he wrote “good idea”), which may make it more similar to Facebook (where, by the way, the limit for the last decade is 63,206 characters); verification (which over the weekend it revealed will offer different colors of Vi for different types of verified accounts); and payments – a slide that did not include any images, but many tweeters were quick to guess that it was, among other things, the possibility of transferring funds in crypto-currencies, such as Dogecoin, which Musk supports. This resulted in a sharp jump in the exchange rate during the morning.
