 "Elon Musk hints at launching new social media platform; says 'giving serious thought' to it")
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk said on Sunday that he is “giving serious thought” to creating a new social media platform consisting of an open-source algorithm.
“Am giving serious thought to this,” Musk tweeted in response to another user’s question whether he considers building a new social media platform, which would consist of an open-source algorithm and on which free speech would be given top priority.
Is a new platform needed?

On Friday, Musk posted a poll to his Twitter account, asking other users to vote whether they believe the platform adheres to the free speech principle. Over 2 million users participated in the poll, with 70.4 per cent responding negatively.
Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.
