After taking over Twitter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been sharing his views about the micro-blogging site. Sharing his latest ideas about Twitter, Tesla founder tweeted two ideas that he believed could improve the platform.
According to Musk, DMs should have end to end encryption like signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages. He also believes that Twitter must be politically neutral to deserve public trust.

A $44 billion agreement has been inked between Twitter and Musk for the acquisition of the micro-blogging site.
Musk has been tweeting about things he would like to see on Twitter and his idea of free speech has already run into troubled waters as many apprehend that hate speech might get encouraged in the garb of free speech.
To this, he has clarified that by free speech, he meant one that matches with the law. “If people want less free speech, they will ask the government to pass laws to that effect,” he said.
In another tweet, eccentric billionaire and newfound Twitter owner Musk, known for his outlandish statements, also said that he’s “going to buy McDonald’s and fix all the ice cream machines”.
Newfound Twitter owner also said that he planned to buy Coca-Cola next “to put the cocaine back in.”
Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in

Before taking over Twitter, the Tesla founder tweeted a series of ideas that he believed could improve the platform, with some appearing serious — like the possibility of introducing an edit button — while others seemed wholly bizarre, such as converting Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters into a homeless shelter. Earlier, Musk was only set to join the board which he declined without citing any reason.
On April 25, Twitter announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk at approximately $44 billion. Twitter will become a privately held company after completion of the transaction.
Twitter Board of Directors have unanimously approved the transactions and is expected to close in 2022, subject to the approval of Twitter stockholders, the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
