Macron wrote in a tweet on Friday (local time) that he met with Musk in the afternoon and had an open and honest conversation with him. Musk has pledged to take action against terrorist and violent extremist content and better protect children online.
Since Musk’s takeover of Twitter, there have been widespread concerns that more hate speech and harassment may emerge on the platform following his leadership and massive layoffs. Musk has repeatedly expressed criticism that Twitter restricts freedom of expression on the platform too much.
In another tweet, Macron wrote that he and Musk also discussed future green industrial projects such as electric vehicle and battery production. Also, the President provided a photo of Musk and himself at a conference table. “I look forward to exciting plans in France,” Musk wrote in response. He also owns electric car company Tesla. (SDA)
