"The Bird Is Free." Says Elon Musk As He Takes Over Tweeter

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk has closed a $44bn deal to take over ownership of social media service, Twitter.

Confirming the takeover, Musk tweeted “the bird is freed”.

In an earlier tweet where he addressed Twitter advertisers explaining why he is acquiring the app, Musk said, “The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence.”

He added, “There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left-wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society,

“In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost,” Musk said.

Musk, however, warned that even though he wants to make the app a free space, “Twitter cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said without consequences”.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas

               Merry Christmas Everyone!  THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS  Christmas is celebrated, it is a day set aside to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. Christmas is also a time to love and to share! Giving is the real meaning of Christmas because it is the very essence of love, unselfishness, and humility. Taking into consideration by remembering the priceless free gift that was given to us from above, let us celebrate it by showing one another, how much we value each other. Let us show our gratitude!
