Tesla CEO Elon Musk had some fun at the expense of The Washington Post in a response to an op-ed condemning his growing influence with Twitter.
Musk shocked the world this week when it was revealed he purchased 9.2% stake in Twitter, Inc., making him the largest shareholder in the social media giant. He made even more headlines when it was announced that he was joining Twitter’s board of directors, suggesting he could have influence over Twitter’s policies in favor of free speech principles.
The Post published a piece on Friday titled, “Elon Musk’s vision of ‘free speech’ will be bad for Twitter.” In it, tech investor and former Reddit CEO Ellen K. Pao bashed the billionaire’s bought-in “welcome” to Twitter, calling it “highly disconcerting — a slap in the face, even.”
