This Monday (25), Elon Musk announced the purchase of Twitter by
$44 billion, after showing signs of interest in the platform in recent weeks. Now, the network is a privately held company.
In a still uncertain future, experts are betting on a new business model for Twitter. Musk’s affinity for the network could allow him to improve algorithms and the overall usage experience. However, some netizens expressed concerns about the new acquisition, fearing that the network will cease to become an inclusive space for all with privatization.
Among the main expectations of Musk on Twitter are a payment model (as is already done on WhatsApp), turning the social influence that the site has into profit.
Additionally, other tools and updates may include the option to edit tweets after publication and turn the site into an open source algorithm.
According to Jennie Li, stock strategist at XP, the new acquisition takes the burden off Twitter from explaining all the time to its shareholders. On freedom of expression, experts are divided. On the one hand, some say that flexibility in relation to content and punishments should be positive because it goes against the growing wave of restrictions on the internet. On the other hand, some fear that this will make Twitter an even more aggressive and polluted place.
For the economy, Li says the decision does not directly affect other big techs, as it is an internal micro change. The delisting was evaluated as a possibility of renewing the company’s management. Still, it’s a little early to consider the results as finalized.
