News & Reviews:   twitter

Although the Twitter board has decided to sell the social media platform to Elon Musk, it doesn't mean that the ownership will immediately get transferred. Selling such a large company should go through a long process. Until today, the latest information has come stating that deal is now on hold when Musk waits for Twitter to give an accurate number of the existing fake or spam accounts.

Today, Twitter just announced a new feature called Twitter Circle. If you ever feel like tweeting something but not to everyone online, then this feature might be the one for you and here's how it works.

If you recall, reports confirmed that Elon Musk successfully acquired Twitter earlier this week. The Tesla founder now has full control of the platform and company, allowing him to dictate policy and direction. Unfortunately, some of those changes might be inconvenient for us.

Social media is still a place that emphasizes free speech, so it might lead to some users exploiting that by posting offensive things on these platforms. With that said, our government might be looking for a way to stop this from happening by studying the need to tighten existing laws.

After nearly a month, Elon Musk has finally acquired Twitter at a staggering $43.3 billion ($54.20 per share). With great support from Morgan Stanley, an American investment bank (and his own funds), this acquisition grants him total control of Twitter and the deal is currently in regulatory approval. 

Not just you, we're also confused regarding the news of Elon Musk buying Twitter. A previous report claimed that the Twitter board was totally against the deal. However, the table might have just turned with this new information arrived by saying that the social media company is ready to take what Musk offers.

Recently, the news of the world's richest person, Elon Musk, offering to purchase the whole Twitter went viral quickly. Now, the latest update has come, and it's telling us that Musk might not be going to close the deal with the social media company.

Owning a 9.2 percent share of Twitter is not enough for Elon Musk, as the world's richest person has offered $43 billion (~RM181 billion) to purchase the social media company completely today. The news came from Musk himself through a tweet attaching the link to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Popular social media platform Twitter is currently experimenting with a new feature that helps protect users’ peace of mind. Called ‘unmentioning’, the feature allows you to remove yourself from conversations where you’re mentioned in.

Announced by the company’s Twitter Safety account, the feature is now available for some users on the web version of the platform. The tweet also showed a GIF of the feature in action which is rather straightforward.

In an unexpected twist, Elon Musk became Twitter's largest shareholder and even asked if Twitter users want an 'edit' button. Obviously, it was a resounding yes from the community and this has kind of forced Twitter to reveal that the team has been working on it since last year.
