So it's alright when the richest man in the world buys an entire newspaper outright, but when the richest man in the world buys shares in a social media platform, free speech is endangered. The Washington Post was Washington's "leading newspaper," the WaPo reported at the time, "and a powerful force in shaping the nation’s politics and policy." When Bezos made the buy, he became sole owner of the legacy news outlet. Jeff Bezos was the richest man in the world, also a tech billionaire like Musk, when he bought the Washington Post in 2013. WaPo always good for a laugh ?- Elon Musk April 5, 2022 Musk responded to the preposterous article by saying that the outlet is "always good for a laugh." Elon Musk bought a 9.2-percent stake in Twitter, and the Washington Post essentially freaked out, publishing an article claiming that having the richest man in the world as a partial owner of a social media platform as influential as Twitter could spell trouble for free speech.
