Elon Musk has made a stunning move by acquiring the social media platform Twitter only to take it completely offline hours later. "It was just too loud," the Tesla CEO reportedly said as he pulled the plug from the wall.
A Radical Experiment in Digital Detox
Musk's decision to buy the platform and immediately shut it down is being interpreted as a radical experiment in digital detox. "The internet needed a break," he tweeted from an underground bunker where he is now exploring the "real" world without hashtags and trolls.
Analysts suspect the move was a PR stunt to draw attention to Musk's new project "SilentSpace" β an app that offers only silence. However, the action has caused stock prices of other social media platforms to skyrocket.
