The world's richest person, Elon Musk, has taken over the social media site Twitter at $44 billion. An official at Twitter said Musk wants to open up Twitter more to free speech and One of his biggest aims is to remove spam bots, which fill Twitter with fake tweets.
Many spam bots are used to tweet false information to people voting in elections. They are also used to spread conspiracy theories about vaccinations, immigration and other social issues.
Since Musk's offer to buy the company from Twitter's board on April 4, Twitter's value rose by 27 percent after this.
Musk is number seven on the list of Twitter's most-followed people. He has 84 million followers. Former U.S. President Barack Obama tops the list with 131 million followers.
Musk said he wants to introduce new products. He said the company has "tremendous potential".
By the way, one big question people are asking is whether Musk will allow former U.S. President Donald Trump back on the platform. He was banned in January 2021.
Another thing that people are most concerned is hate speech. Human rights groups says it could be increased hate speech if Twitter will be more open.
