Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, a few days ago proposed to buy Twitter, assuring that it will make it more plural and benefit users, without However, the platform's response has been slow. At halftime, the billionaire is making some jokes about the advice of the social network.

Through his Twitter account, the billionaire posted an image of six people in robes and with completely dark faces standing in a half circle, as if it were a scene from a horror movie, saying that they are the advice that reviews the publications.

In this way he mocked the Twitter team that decides whether a post is offensive and should be removed from the platform. He represented them as dark and powerful beings who are in control of everything.

And it is that before he mocked the “shadow ban council”, he published a meme in which Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, appears next to the emoji of a pregnant man, to show the resemblance between the two. But the most controversial thing is the phrase with which he accompanied the image.

The image of Bill Gates being compared to a pregnant transsexual man added to the South African's comment could be reason for Twitter to decide to ban (remove) the post. Therefore, moments later he added another image in which he mocked the platform's advice.

According to Elon Musk, Twitter has some things that need to be changed, one of them is the rules on publications. He has said that if he acquires the platform it will allow for more freedom of expression.

He also ensures that if he is the new CEO of the social network, he will make all users verify their identity to avoid bot spam. Despite the offer to buy the platform for $41 million in cash, he has not received any response.

Musk has been very critical of the social media platform in recent weeks, especially because he believes that it does not comply with the principles of freedom of expression. The company has angered supporters of Donald Trump and other far-right politicians, whose accounts were suspended for violating their content standards on violence, hatred or misinformation. Some of Musk's tweets also caused legal problems previously.

It should be recalled that Musk is the largest individual shareholder of the social media platform after accumulating a large stake in the company this year, which is equivalent to 9.1% of the firm. It was also briefly the company's largest global shareholder, until investment firm Vanguard increased its stake to 10.3% of the company, according to an SEC report first published by the Wall Street Journal.

Earlier this month, Twitter announced that the billionaire would join its board of directors, but a few days later Musk retracted the decision.

Since then, Business Insider recalled, Twitter's board of directors has expressed that it will deploy a “poison pill” defense — also known as a shareholder rights plan — to reject Musk's takeover offer. This plan consists of increasing the total number of shares of the company, which makes it difficult for any interested party to buy all shares.

Musk is the richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $255 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
