On Monday, Twitter’s share rose 4.8% in premarket trading. Musk had said last week that he lined up $46.5 billion in finance to purchase Twitter and had been negotiating with the company.

Elon Musk is a self-described “free speech absolutist” and has been critical of Twitter’s policies for a long time now.

Musk, in a regulatory filing, said that he planned to acquire Twitter as he believed it has potential to be a platform for free speech around the world, and he believes free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.

He added that Twitter needs to be transformed into a private company.

Here are the expected changes Mr. Musk is expected to push on Twitter:

– The Edit Button
– Opening Up Twitter’s Algorithm
– Tackling Crypto Currency Scams
– Free Speech
