Elon Musk revealed that his new social media company succeeding in reducing hate speech impressions by cutting down on number of tweets allowed per day. He shared a stat that showed that offensive tweets were now lower than before his arrival at the company.
During the first few days of the billionaire’s take over of the platform, it had seen an astronomical rise in hate speech impressions. The number even reached a staggering 10 million impressions in a day towards the end of October 2022.
The spike was likely caused by fake accounts trying to prove a point that Twitter needed moderation and Musk said so himself. “I have half a mind to wag my finger at the 1500 accounts that caused the spike, but I shall forebear,” the SpaceX boss said with a rolling eye emoji.
