On Tuesday, Twitter&#8217;s CEO Parag Agrawal announced that the social media platform will be appointing tech billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/shop/products/elon-musk-tweet-t-shirt">Elon Musk</a> to the company&#8217;s board of directors. The announcement comes one day after it was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-becomes-twitters-largest-shareholder-after-shakeup-tease">revealed</a> that Musk had bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter, thereby becoming the largest shareholder in the company with the purchase.
&#8220;I’m excited to share that we’re appointing <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk">@elonmusk </a>to our board!&#8221; Agrawal tweeted. &#8220;Through conversations with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board.&#8221;
&#8220;He’s both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need on <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/Twitter">@Twitter</a>, and in the boardroom, to make us stronger in the long-term. Welcome Elon!&#8221; he added.

Musk responded shortly after, indicating that he will accept the position. &#8220;Looking forward to working with Parag &amp; Twitter board to make significant improvements to Twitter in coming months!&#8221; he tweeted.

On Monday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-becomes-twitters-largest-shareholder-after-shakeup-tease">reported</a> that &#8220;Musk now has four times as many shares as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, who owns 2.25%.&#8221;
The Daily Wire also noted that Musk has hinted in the past at creating a platform that is more open to diversity of thought:
<blockquote>The move comes after Musk teased a shakeup at Twitter, or possible plans to build a new social media platform that promotes free speech.
Last month, Musk asked his followers to vote in a poll about free speech and Twitter’s adherence to it, emphasizing that the “consequences of this poll will be important.”
“Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” the 50-year-old asked. “The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.”</blockquote>
Top tech analyst Dan Ives also correctly predicted on Monday morning that Musk’s move at Twitter is “just the appetizer” of what’s to come.
“This is just a starter … Musk is not gonna do this just to take a passive stake,” Ives told CNBC’s Squawk Box, the Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/just-the-appetizer-top-tech-analyst-talks-musk-taking-on-twitter-following-big-share-buy">noted</a>. “He’s gonna ultimately try to either really change Twitter in terms of a more active stake or eventually, could lead to a buyout.”
In reaction to the latest news, many conservatives such as Judicial Watch&#8217;s Tom Fitton have called for major changes at the company.
