Twitter’s new policy will be to “follow the science”, the microblogging platform’s chief, Elon Musk, said today.
“New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science,” he wrote, adding, “Anyone who says that questioning them is questioning science itself cannot be regarded as a scientist.”
The Tesla CEO didn’t reveal any further details.
Since taking over Twitter, Musk has managed to be under the spotlight over his tweets, new announcements and several major tweaks to the platform’s policy.
The Twitter CEO recently ran a poll on the platform, asking users whether he should step down as the CEO. As the ‘yes’ votes raced past the ‘nays’, Musk said: “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”
He opened up about his promised resignation and tweeted, “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!”
Subsequently, the multi-billionaire said, he will only run “the software and servers teams”.
