Former founding COO of Paypal and tech investor, David Sacks took to Twitter and shared his thoughts on the recent news that Elon Musk has made an offer to buy Twitter. “If the game is fair, Elon will buy Twitter. If the game is rigged, there will be some reason why he won’t be able to. We’re about to find out how deep the corruption goes.”

Sacks had earlier made comments on CNBC that that needs to be a change in policy when it comes to policy at Twitter. Twitter needs to move back to its model of free exchange of ideas.
A little over a week ago:
Last week it was made public that Elon Musk was the largest stakeholder of Twitter. Musk was then offered a seat on Twitter’s board. The seat came with restrictions and Musk decided to decline the offer. Musk may have felt that Twitter was going to try to fight off his push to make the platform more accepting of free speech as it as he has called it the “public town square”.
Twitter has banned the former President of the United States, Donald Trump after the events of January 6th, as well as many others for “wrong think”. They have seemed to have gotten more aggressive with this since Parag Agarwal took over as CEO. Agarwal is openly against free speech.
These comments from Sacks show that Musk is not alone in pushing for the platform to be more open to freedom of speech and exchanging of ideas.
We reported earlier that Musk does have a Plan B if Twitter outright declines his offer according to a speech he made earlier today.
This story continues to evolve and we will try to keep you updated with the ongoing.
