ACLU Expresses Worry Elon Musk Will Let Twitter Users Think Differently Than They Do

Suddenly, the ACLU is seemingly really worried about more free speech -- not to mention the idea of rich people owning companies. That's the takeaway from the organization's statement after it was revealed Tesla king Elon Musk struck a deal for a Twitter takeover. Yet at the same time, the ACLU offered praise to Musk. Just not the idea of his right to buy and owning whatever he wants. Or in this case, his right to negotiate a deal with Twitter. And let us not forget, Twitter had to agree to the sale, too. But none of that matters to the ACLU, based on its reaction to the news. “While Elon Musk is an ACLU card-carrying member and one of our most significant supporters, there’s a lot of danger having so much power in the hands of any one individual," ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero said in a statement.

change that narrative when it comes to Twitter. And apparently, that idea has some people shaking in their boots, or even coming off the rails. Those groups don't want anything but for everyone to push their own mission. Maybe that's what has the ACLU feeling so concerned. Bottom line: Musk intends to change the way Twitter operates, and those who have run amok on Twitter are terrified what it means.
