Elon Musk has outlined his plans for social media giant Twitter after purchasing the company for $44billion (£38bn) this morning. In a message to advertisers, Mr Musk said he did not want the platform to become a "free-for-all hellscape".
In a tweet, titled "Dear Twitter Advertisers", Mr Musk said he wanted Twitter to become a "common digital town square" where differing beliefs and opinions could be debated. However, he warned that his efforts could fail.
He said: "I wanted to reach out personally to share my motivation in acquiring Twitter. There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.
