The platform is expected to reduce rigor in the fight against disinformation and the fight against fake news. Such a rumor caused Tesla to lose $100 billion in shares, in addition to Twitter underperforming significantly.
In addition, there is enormous diplomatic concern for the entrepreneur. Its main company has a huge market in China, which is one of Twitter’s enemies as the tool has always been associated with positive content surrounding the Hong Kong separatist demonstrations.
It is feared that the Chinese government will halt Tesla’s work, causing the entrepreneur to lose billions of dollars. In Europe, lawmakers also warned that Elon must follow the rules to prevent misinformation being advertising on the social network.
