Twitter owned by Musk
Elon Musk has created a flutter in his Twitter capture. An Ivy School product, he has gone a long way in exploring radical paths. Confidence and talent have made him famous and prosperous. But what he has missed is the management’s approach to human resources, where his record has been questionable. If the Rubik designed his cube to move from chaos to order, Elon Musk revels in reverse. What they would have for a purely digital socio-political platform could turn Orwellian into an attempt to control thoughts. Given such widespread influence, Twitter could either turn into the hands of a genius or be victimized by a vagabond.

While Tesla and SpaceX are industry leaders in their segments, Elon Musk has his job cut out to ensure that hate speech and propaganda issues plaguing Twitter – one of the most influential social media platforms where ideas are brought to earth. is broadcast to the various groups living on – they are now addressed with the urgency they deserve. One of the main concerns about Twitter is its lack of accountability and transparency in its decision-making process. It is expected that Mr. Musk will initiate measures to make Twitter a responsible social media platform, while not bragging about freedom of expression.

a book in hand
No digital technology can replace the comfort and enjoyment of reading a printed book (‘Open’ page, 6 November). As far as old book stalls are concerned, how can one forget the erstwhile Moore Market in Chennai?
