The acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, for $ 44 billion, is making waves among many fans of the social network - and also among the billionaire's rivals.
This was expressed in a tweet by Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who wondered whether the Chinese would now have more influence on Twitter.
Bezos ruled out this possibility, but in arguments he had previously published he had already laid the groundwork for such a conspiracy among the public.
His opinion that Musk is a puppet of China, Bezos hung on the fact that most of the lithium batteries in Tesla cars (owned by Musk) are made in China, and that China is also the second largest market for electric car companies.
This means that Musk should apparently be very careful of the Chinese, according to Bezos, who wondered whether this caution would be reflected in Twitter's activities.
Bezos, as mentioned, ruled out this possibility when he estimated that "China will quarrel with Tesla and there seems to be no effect on Twitter at all. Musk is good at managing such complex situations."
However, there is no denying that Musk's longtime rival has laid a significant foundation here for such claims from future American sources.
"First step in the right direction"
"If there is one person I trust who knows how to do good for the social network, it is Elon Musk."
Dorsey spoke of the many difficulties and dysfunction of the network, formerly known as the "SMS of the Internet", noting that "years ago I said that the company should say goodbye to the founders and the management of Twitter, it was possible to produce a Hollywood thriller about the intrigues between them."
However, the network's founder further noted that "in fact, Twitter should not be owned by anyone. It should represent human consciousness, and its definition as a company is problematic. At the protocol level, Twitter should be defined as a public benefit venture. This is also why I appointed the Parag Agrawal (current CEO of Twitter).
"I also believe in Elon Musk's commitment to expanding freedom of expression in the company. She should have gotten out of control of Wall Street and all the interests there. In that sense, her purchase is a first step in the right direction, and I do not believe Elon will take her to a better stage where she will continue to serve. The public discourse. "
