Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos has asked in a post on Twitter if Elon Musk's $44 billion cash deal to buy the U.S. social media platform gives China 'a bit of leverage over the town square'.
Political activists expect that Musk's ownership of Twitter will mean less moderation and the reinstatement of banned individuals including former U.S. President Donald Trump.
"My own answer to this question is probably not. The more likely outcome in this regard is complexity in China for Tesla, rather than censorship at Twitter," he later tweeted.
