(Reuters) - Silicon Valley leaders welcomed Elon Musk's management of Twitter, with Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings going so far as to call the billionaire "the bravest, most creative person on the planet."

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday said he was keen to see how Elon Musk's management of content moderation on Twitter would fare, arguing it was good for platforms to take different approaches.

"You can agree or disagree with what Elon is doing, or how he's doing it, but I do think it's going to be very interesting to see how this plays out," said Zuckerberg, speaking at the New York Times DealBook conference.

"I would guess that not everything is going to work, but I think some things might work," he said.

Hastings said Musk has a different management style than his own but added: "I'm 100% convinced he's trying to help the world with all of his endeavors."

The Netflix co-founder said Musk believes in free speech and its role in democracy.

"It's not how I would do it, but I'm deeply respectful," said Hastings. "I'm amazed that people are so nitpicky"

Well huh...the chickens are starting to bow down—it looks like Musk is the rooster.

It could be he has something and they want those demons to stay tucked in.

Duh, he’s justifying firing all the annoying bloat.

Linkedin for example. 10 people could run that. 1 CEO 1 Press 3 engineers and 5 ad/account managers.

The program basically runs itself. All your doing is hiring 10,000 hot women to do customer service and ‘planning sessions’ for a 10 person crew.

Yep, there’s probably a lot of high-level cross-talk between the tech giants and now it may all get exposed...so they’ll be nice to Elon and maybe he’ll protect them a bit.

I love it when people recognize inefficiency and strive for efficient commercial operations.

Well done👍
