Tesla's CEO Elon Musk on Saturday, October 29 informed that no changes have been made to Twitter's content moderation policies. Musk gave the update after his Friday's tweet saying that Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. "To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter's content moderation policies," Tesla's CEO tweeted.

While the tweet made by Musk on Friday read, "Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes. The Tesla CEO has been making several tweets related to Twitter after he acquired the social media platform. Some of his tweets are: "comedy is now legal on Twitter", "let the good times roll," and more.

It can be known that as per reports, after officially taking over Twitter, Musk fired the top executives of Twitter Inc including Parag Agrawal, Ned Segal and Vijaya Gadde. Also, the Tesla and SpaceX owner is expected to remain CEO of Twitter in the interim period but may eventually cede the role in the longer term.

Musk had on October 27 also informed about the reason why he acquired Twitter via a tweet, "The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence."

"There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society," he said.

Musk further said, "I didn't do it because it would be easy. I didn't do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.
