In a meeting with his 87 million followers on Twitter late Wednesday, Musk posted a meme again suggesting he buy McDonald’s to repair the restaurant chain’s chronic broken ice cream machines. “Listen, I can not do miracles okay,” he wrote on Twitter. Musk promised to make Twitter “maximum fun” as he continued to leave hints about how he intends to run the company after the board accepted the $ 44 billion takeover bid earlier this week as the richest man in the world. Musk posted several tweets late Wednesday night and through Thursday morning in which he offered some suggestions for upgrading the site. “Twitter DMs need to be end-to-end encrypted like Signal so that no one can spy on or hack into your messages,” Musk wrote on Twitter. Musk’s $ 44 billion bid was accepted by Twitter’s board earlier this week. Getty Images Musk has vowed to buy Twitter and modify its content control policies to honor its original mission as a platform that promotes free speech. He reiterated his commitment Wednesday night, writing on Twitter: “For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which essentially means upsetting the far right and the far left alike.” Musk also appeared to be enjoying the memes that have been posted to mock Twitter employees who are reportedly upset about Tesla’s boss’s plans to acquire the San Francisco-based company. When Twitter user Kyle Mann wrote that his post on a Babylon Bee video depicting a Twitter employee “being treated for the imminent acquisition of @elonmusk” was flagged by the “sensitive content” service, Musk responded with two laughing hysterically emoji.

They see his tweets criticizing the company – which allegedly violates its commitment not to criticize the platform – as a sign of a lack of seriousness. Wall Street analysts point to the impact that the imminent acquisition of Twitter by Musk had on its electric car company, Tesla. Tesla has lost more than $ 100 billion in value as investors speculate that Musk may need to sell shares to finance his $ 21 billion stake in the $ 44 billion acquisition of Twitter. Tesla is not involved in the deal with Twitter, but its shares have been targeted by speculators after Musk refused to publicly disclose where his buyout cash came from. A 12.2% drop in Tesla shares on Tuesday equaled a $ 21 billion drop in the value of its Tesla stake, as well as $ 21 billion in cash pledged to the Twitter deal. Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives said worries about Musk’s upcoming share sales and the possibility of his distraction from Twitter weighed on Tesla shares. “This (is) causing a bear festival in the name,” he said. Musk’s commitment to change content control could violate European Union regulations requiring social media platforms to combat hate speech.

It would not be the first time. “ While Musk continues to tweet freely about the company he is going to acquire, a federal judge has decided to do the same with Tesla. U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Lyman on Wednesday rejected Musk’s offer to end a 2018 consensus order that limited his ability to tweet about Tesla, hitting the billionaire in his ongoing dispute with the SEC.
