washington [US]Nov 12 (ANI): Twitter CEO Elon Musk has criticized the “media elite” and said that increasing competition from citizen journalism will disrupt mainstream media’s “oligarchy over information”.
Musk shared a few tweets on Twitter on Friday, reflecting his views on the current state of journalism.
In the first one he talked about Twitter’s goal of elevating citizen journalism and wrote, “As Twitter pursues the goal of elevating citizen journalism, the media elite will do everything possible to prevent this from happening. “
Furthermore, in a later tweet, he stated that although “mainstream media will still flourish, increased competition from citizens will make them more accurate, as their oligarchy over information is disrupted.”
Basically, it seems that tech entrepreneurs wanted to say that the need for mainstream media to check information accuracy has increased as citizen journalism has grown in recent years due to social media platforms.
Meanwhile, since completing the Twitter deal, the world’s richest man has made a flurry of decisions affecting the functioning of Twitter, which has millions of daily active users.
The biggest change that Twitter is seeing is the addition of the new USD 7.99 per month Blue subscription. However, Musk’s decision to introduce blue tick fees did not go down well with many. Even some advertisers dragged their feet back from the site.
Additionally, celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg and Gigi Hadid left Twitter in the days following its acquisition. (ANI)
