Gossip magazines: Musk is going to take over several social media
Take this article with a large grain of salt.
“Elon Musk broke the internet when it became known that he bought Twitter and now users are convinced he will take over Instagram.” headlines the gossip page HITC. (source)
The Tesla owner first became a shareholder of Twitter and later bought the entire platform for over $40 billion† Now that Elon owns Twitter, people are curious to see what changes he will bring.
There have been rumors for some time that Elon Musk will buy up several social media.
Amid the debate over Twitter's purchase, many believed in a recent video that Elon may have invested in Instagram as well.
This is that video with the misleading title:
Elon Musk Just BOUGHT Instagram!
The video is on the channel “Elon Musk Zone”
Elon Musk's (usually funny) tweets don't say anything about an Instagram or Spotify takeover, except that he will take over Coca Cola to put the cocaine back in the bottles.
What will change about Twitter?
One change is certain and that is the “edit” button.
All retweets and replies to that tweet will be deleted, he said during an interview with TED. (source)
Furthermore, Musk does hint a bit on Twitter about what he wants with Twitter and how he thinks about the crazy media and Democrats.
Next I'm buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in

He continues to troll the hysterical and raging Democrats and woke community:
The far left hates everyone, themselves included!

He also lets us know, between nose and lips, what he plans to do with Twitter:
Twitter DMs should have end to end encryption like Signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages
- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 28, 2022
Let's make Twitter maximum fun!

That's why we must clear out bots, spam & scams. Is something actually public opinion or just someone operating 100k fake accounts? Right now, you can't tell.
And algorithms must be open source, with any human intervention clearly identified.
Then, trust will be deserved.

But Musk has not talked about taking over other social media.
Still, the tabloid is convinced. They place:
VIRAL VIDEO EXPLORED
A viral video posted by a YouTube page called “Elon Musk Zone” (video above) claimed that the Tesla owner was now planning to invest in Instagram because he wanted to make the social media place better for everyone.
The video also mentioned that the only way it would be possible was for Elon to take all platforms private. This eight minutes and forty-seven seconds video convinced everyone that Elon was on a mission to take over the next platform.
VIDEO SUPPORTS DISCUSSION ABOUT ELON TAKING OVER INSTAGRAM
While the video contains no evidence of Elon's involvement with Instagram, it has sparked debate about what would happen if he did. Ever since the Tesla owner bought Twitter users, they've been excited to see what he'd bring to the store.
At this time, no official announcement about the changes has been made. However, users do think that Instagram could benefit from some changes. (source)
According to the gossip magazine.
What would the media think of this?
Spotify and Snapchat
But the video channel Elon Musk Zone also mentioned that he will be taking over Spotify along with Snapchat and Tinder. He would also have banned Bill Gates. Something that would go against his own principle of freedom of expression.
This makes the story even more incredible. But who knows?
Fortunately, we have a real crime fighter when it comes to disinformation. Nina Jankowicz now has her first serious job ahead of it Ministry of Truth.
