Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Friday that Twitter could be heading toward a “long form tweet” function if he is able to successfully purchase control of the company. “My most immediate takeaway from this novella of a thread is that Twitter is *way* overdue for long form tweets!” Musk tweeted Friday in response to a lengthy thread about policing free speech on social media. The thread, posted by engineer and entrepreneur Yishan Wong outlined his belief that Musk is in for a “world of pain” if he is able to purchase Twitter. “Elon is going to try like heck to ‘fix’ the problems he sees,” Wong said in the thread that was dozens of tweets long. “Each problem he ‘fixes’ will just cause 3 more problems.” Musk’s response to the Twitter thread comes as his offer to purchase the social media giant for $43 billion hit a potential snag when the company adopted a “poison pill” plan to prevent his takeover.
