The real-life Iron Man is inches away from being the sole owner of the microblogging platform (?2+ billion users?) he calls the de facto ‘digital town square’. The Tesla chief had earlier lit into Twitter top brass over content moderation and curtailing free speech.
"I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means,"?tweeted?Musk. But, will he?walk the talk?once the deal is closed?
