Despite joining the board, Musk will not be given preferential treatment as Twitter is “committed to impartiality in the development and enforcement of its policies and rules,” company spokesperson Adrian Zamora said.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has now joined Twitter as a board member, but the company says it would not treat Musk differently. Despite joining the board, Musk will not be given preferential treatment as Twitter is “committed to impartiality in the development and enforcement of its policies and rules,” company spokesperson Adrian Zamora said. The spokesperson further implied that he would be subjected to the same Twitter rules as everyone else. This means that no one can save Musk from getting banned on the microblogging platform if his tweets go against the company guidelines. A Twitter spokesperson told The Verge that the board members do not have the authority to modify the company guidelines but they can provide guidance and feedback.
