Elon Musk thinks Twitter should get this feature of messaging app Signal
Premium- Twitter DMs should have end- to-end encryption like Signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages, tweeted Elon Musk
Tesla Chief Elon Musk who just few days back brought the social media platform Twitter for $44 billion has stated that for the microblogging site to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral.
In a series of tweets Elon Musk tweeted,"For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally."

"I took this job to change Twitter for the better, course-correct where we need to, and strengthen the service. Proud of our people who continue to do the work with focus and urgency despite the noise," Agrawal tweeted.

Musk has described himself as a “free-speech absolutist" but is also known for blocking or disparaging other Twitter users who question or disagree with him.
