Following the agreement with Twitter, Elon Musk has made another declaration. He has tweeted that a Twitter Content Moderation Council will soon be established. The content moderation council will make decisions in this regard. Only when this council has reviewed the situation will a decision be made to open the closed accounts.

After finalizing the agreement with Twitter on Friday, Elon Musk tweeted a few times. In one of them, he stated that Twitter would shortly undergo some adjustments. According to him, a Content Moderation Council with a wide range of viewpoints would make judgments regarding content moderation. Before its establishment, no significant choices or account restorations will be made.

In a tweet, Musk stated that the Content Moderation Council will only assess the review in order to open up consumer accounts that had been closed prior to the acquisition. The Content Moderation Council is going to conduct this evaluation. Only once the council makes a decision will the accounts be restored. He claimed that although Twitter's content moderation policy has not yet been altered, it soon will.

After this announcement by Elon Musk, a user asked if this is so, then why did you restore Kanye West's account again? Twitter should not become a platform for spreading racism and anti-Semitism. To this question, Elon Musk replied through a tweet. He wrote that yes, that account was restored by Twitter prior to the acquisition. He did not consult me ​​in this regard nor did he give any information.

Tesla's competitor General Motors has temporarily suspended its ads on Twitter after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, US media reported.
