In response to Elon Musk’s letter to Twitter advertisers promising good will to humanity through his purchase of the platform, prominent Twitter liberals reacted with scorn, derision, and naysaying.
On Thursday, the world’s richest man and owner of Tesla shared a letter to Twitter that he addressed to the site’s advertisers. The letter featured an optimistic Musk clarifying his intentions behind purchasing the company and sharing his vision for the platform that he believes will benefit users, advertisers, and humanity as a whole.

He wrote, "The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner without resorting to violence."
Elsewhere, he said, "That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it because it would be easy. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love."
The billionaire, whose deadline to finalize purchasing the platform is this week, assured advertisers in his belief that Twitter "cannot become a free-for-all hellscape." He added, "our platform must be warm and welcoming to all."
Though liberals on the platform blasted the letter’s message of goodwill, insisting that Musk is just looking to acquire Twitter for his own power.
NOW, Enjoy these Elon Takeover Twitter memes. LOL
