witter says it has no plans to reinstate former President Donald Trump's account despite Elon Musk vowing to 'make significant improvements' to the social media platform after becoming the company's largest shareholder and a member of its board of directors.
'Twitter is committed to impartiality in the development and enforcement of its policies and rules,' the company told DailyMail.com on Tuesday. 'Our policy decisions are not determined by the Board or shareholders, and we have no plans to reverse any policy decisions.'
'As always our Board plays an important advisory and feedback role across the entirety of our service. Our day to day operations and decisions are made by Twitter management and employees,' the company added.

One policy change would be to add more sunlight. When a government official requests that a tweet or user be taken down, simply disclose the source of that request and then Twitter should be free to make their own decision.
If they are routinely acting as an agent of the state for censorship, that should be disclosed. It would also be unconstitutional.
If he is, could he not ask his 80 million followers to buy shares and give him proxy to pool their votes with him?
Wait till the stick goes up musk and then sell it and get out of there. They are not changing anything. They want you there to help get business back. People are jumping ship.
Wanna bet, Twitter?
Musk will achieve nothing meaningful there.
“Twitter throughout his term he might have won.”
Too lazy to pay attention to all the recent fraud allegations? He actually won, the election was stolen. Anyone with two eyes, willing to look, and more than one-braincell knows this.
According to Dan Bongino, if Elon decides to sell his shares the price will drop and the executives who get paid by stock options will get paid zero.
quote “Our day to day operations and decisions are made by Twitter management” which is hired and fired by the board.
'Our policy decisions are not determined by the Board or shareholders, and we have no plans to reverse any policy decisions.'Someone is likely in for a hard life-lesson.
Its funny each day the things that got Trump banned prove to be more truthful every day that passes. TDS prevents these folks from admitting they were wrong all along.
1) Become largest shareholder of Twitter
2) Start his OWN social media platform ('SociaLink' would be a good name)
3) Once new media platform is established, TANK TWITTER
4) VOILA!
I just read (not sure if true or not) that a board member can’t own more than 14.9% of the OS shares. Sounds like twit trying to tie EM’s hands
I 'unno. You'd have to ask the SEC as mentioned here:
Mr. Musk - sell your Twitter - buy Disney.
Musk would have to own 51% to clean up that online toilet. 9% is not close to enough.
Of course no one can have an intelligent conversation on this site because that’s the go to for everything.
Someone is about to learn about the power of corporate governance.
Ironic since they’ve wielded it vainly for decades.
Imagine if GSE enforced values of mainstream USA.
I’m not sure what’s going on here. But it does look like Musk bought out all the Twitter stock held by Morgan Stanley.
When this purchase settles out he’ll probably make a play for the stock held by Blackrock.
“’Our policy decisions are not determined by the Board or shareholders, and we have no plans to reverse any policy decisions.’ “
ROTFLOL!
whistling past the graveyard!
their Board, led by Musk, CAN direct the CEO to cease censorship AND replace the CEO if he’s insubordinate, and the new CEO can then replace all of upper management, and THEN replace their “policies” and censorship algorithms ...
in the meantime, Musk has carte blanche to tweet away, including impugning and attacking recalcitrant management and board members and their censorship policies...
[btw, i can’t wait until Musk demands to access their entire censorship algorithms and makes them public]
