About this episode

Le 4 avril dernier, Elon Musk entre dans le capital de Twitter en rachetant 9,2 % des actions, devenant ainsi le premier actionnaire du réseau social. Mais l’homme le plus riche du monde ne s’arrête pas là.


Le 14 avril, il  annonce avoir déposé une offre d'achat de l'ensemble des actions de Twitter au prix de 54,20 dollars l'action. C’est finalement le 25 avril que le conseil d’administration du réseau social tombe d’accord avec l’homme d’affaires, pour 44 milliards de dollars. 


Ce rachat suscite des questions car Elon Musk est connu pour être un partisan d’une liberté d’expression totale. En s’appropriant l’un des réseaux sociaux les plus populaires au monde, le milliardaire, qui compte plus de 90 millions d’abonnés sur Twitter, dit vouloir “sauver la liberté d’expression”, quitte à assouplir certaines règles de modération.
