On Monday, Twitter announced that its board of directors unanimously agreed to Elon Musk’s offer to buy the social network at a price of $44 billion. The deal brings one of the most influential online platforms under the control of one of the world’s richest people.
Musk, who is a prolific Twitter user himself, tweeted the same day that he hopes “even my worst critics remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means.”

He has repeatedly criticized efforts to moderate speech on the service, but many people are still unsure what the purchase means for the future of the company.
Scott Kessler, global sector lead for technology media at Third Bridge, for example, said in a statement, “It seems that major changes are ahead for Twitter if Musk succeeds, but the specifics at this point are pretty lacking.”
So to paint you a better picture of what all of this means to the internet, we at Bored Panda put together a list of reactions the citizens of the techkingdom had to the news.
