Tesla CEO Elon Musk has bought Twitter for USD 44 billion. The deal will give the world's richest person control over a social media platform with millions of users. America has expressed concern after this deal.
The United States has expressed concern after the Tesla CEO bought Twitter. The White House says that US President Joe Biden was concerned about these social media outlets. Spokesperson Jen Psaki said the White House would not personally comment on the deal.
Psaki said that it doesn't matter who owns or runs Twitter. The president has long been concerned about the power of big social media platforms, the power that influences our daily lives. She said President Joe Biden has long believed that tech platforms should be held accountable for the harm they cause.
Musk has successfully signed a deal to buy micro-blogging site Twitter for USD 44 billion. At the same time, Biden administration officials believe that being more vigilant on social media will help avoid political concerns and the spread of misleading information about the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Psaki, the White House is pushing to repeal 230. This law protects social media platforms from liability for the content posted by users. She said, "We regularly engage with all social media platforms. Steps that can be taken for this are being worked on. There are still many such reforms regarding social media, which are yet to be done."
