New Delhi:
Tech billionaire and owner of the microblogging platform Twitter, Elon Musk, is not one to shy away from expressing his opinions. Long before he bought the social media platform, Elon Musk was a fixture on Twitter, even courting controversy for some of his much-debated tweets.
Now, in a new tweet, Elon Musk has a message for all the Twitter users who only use the app to read posts but rarely share anything themselves.
On Sunday, Elon Musk shared a photo of a man dressed in a kurta-pyjama lounging on an elevated platform, smoking and looking at several people below him. The photo comes with the caption “People who have Twitter but never post.”[ads1]; Elon Musk shared the photo and wrote: “Oh hey lol.”

On Friday, Elon Musk, speaking at a conference in Paris, explained why he chose to buy Twitter. He said he wanted to improve the “corrosive effect” he felt the app was having on civil society. “I was concerned that Twitter was having a negative impact on civilization and a corrosive impact on civil society, and anything that undermines civilization I think is not good,” he said.
“My hope was to change it and make it positive for civilization,” Elon Musk added, saying he believed most regular users of the site would attest that their experience on Twitter has improved. “I think if someone is a regular Twitter user, most people would say their experience has improved,” Musk said, adding: “We’ve gotten rid of 90% of bots and fraud and different bad things that happen. We got rid of 95% of the child exploitation material on Twitter, which was a shock to see … some of that was going on for 10 years.”
But at the same conference, Elon Musk also said: “If I’m so smart, why did I pay so much for Twitter?” citing the $44 billion deal.
Elon Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter in October 2022. Within days, he laid off nearly half of Twitter’s employees — amid much furore — citing it as a cost-cutting measure.
