The serial entrepreneur and world’s richest person seems to be letting his own personal views shape and inform his policies governing use on the platform.

      Dude doesn’t even own twitter. Saudi princes and the Qatar government have a much bigger share that he does. This is all about controlling mass media.

        Other parties (including the ones you mentioned) have sizable stakes in twitter, but they are much smaller than Elon’s stake, not the other way around. (Remember, it sold for $44B, you can divide that by the numbers in the article by that to see how much each investor mentioned owns).
