One of them has resurfaced again and has been cited as part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/Why-is-everyone-going-private-on-Twitter-20230203-0015.html">investigation</a> against Jeffrey Epstein.</p>



<p>Although Epstein passed away in 2019, the investigation is still ongoing. The government of the Virgin Islands has officially requested Musk to provide some specific documents, but his team of legal representatives has confirmed that no specific subpoena or request has reached him so far.</p>



<p>Apparently, the millionaire is trying to step aside and move on with his life, but not without drama. Another of the many controversies in which he is involved, is that he would have argued that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/facebook-changes-company-name-to-meta-what-does-it-all-mean-20211028-0010.html">WhatsApp</a> listens to its users and that <em>“the messaging application cannot be trusted”</em>.</p>



<h2>What is Elon Musk’s net worth?</h2>



<p>On Wednesday, May 31, several media reported that Elon Musk has become the richest person in the world, surpassing Bernard Arnault. <strong>The entrepreneur has a fortune of $176.9 billion</strong>, according to Forbes.

In the wake of the multiple protests from fans, the <strong>Glazers</strong> have decided to put the English club up for sale and the deadline for takeover bids is drawing nearer.</p>
<p>Potential buyers will have <strong>until Friday, February 17</strong> to submit their bids to take control of the storied <strong>Premier League</strong> outfit. Multiple parties from all over the planet are expected to make an attempt to buy the club, and one of the richest and most famous persons in the world would be among them.</p>
<p>According to the<em> Daily Mail</em>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/real-madrid-psg-manchester-city-chelsea-just-some-of-the-15-football-teams-elon-musk-could-have-purchased-instead-of-twitter-20220428-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Elon Musk</strong></a> is monitoring the situation at Old Trafford ahead of the Friday deadline.

<h2>Elon Musk reportedly monitoring Man Utd deadline for takeover bids</h2>
<p>Since the Glazer family is believed to want $7bn while many value the club at$5.4bn, United are predicted to become the<strong> most expensive sports club</strong> in the world, regardless of who wins the bid.</p>
<p>The report claims there are dozens of potential buyers interested in making a bid, with groups from the United States, Saudi Arabia and Qatar reportedly in contention. Another renowned personality in the mix is <strong>Sir Jim Ratcliffe</strong>, Britain’s richest man and lifelong Man Utd fan.</p>
<p>Whether Musk will ultimately make an attempt to buy the club remains to be seen. However, the business magnate <strong>had already flirted with a potential takeover</strong> of the Red Devils in the past: <em>“Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome,</em>” Musk tweeted in August 2022. Though Musk later clarified it was a joke, he <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/elon-musk-finally-responds-to-manchester-uniteds-fans-about-him-buying-the-team-20220816-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">didn’t rule out</a> buying United in the future: <strong><em>“Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U.

<p>Especially with respect to engagement, i.e. the degree of loyalty from followers. This is not related to the number of followers of the account, but to the interest and interaction that followers have with the publications.</p>
<p>This afternoon, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/elon-musk-officially-buys-twitter-for-44-billion-funniest-memes-and-reactions--20220425-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">billionaire businessman</a> posted a tweet that has caused chaos among people who still maintain their users. The move came so fast that some still don’t quite understand what’s going on. Here, check out why everyone is setting their accounts to private…</p>
<h2>What happens with private users on Twitter?</h2>
<p>People who still actively use the Twitter platform have decided to make changes to their accounts. After Elon Musk published a tweet saying <em>“Starting today, Twitter will share ad revenue with creators for ads that appear in their reply threads”</em> and <em>“To be eligible, the account must be a subscriber to Twitter Blue Verified”</em>, users started a new move.</p>
<p>Apparently, <strong>all those who have their accounts in private will be able to have more reach than those who have their accounts in public</strong>. This means that only the first ones would be appearing on the timeline, so it is a good way to get followers and be in the spotlight. The whole movement is about engagement basically.<span></span></p>
<p>The entrepreneur also took the time to answer some questions that some users have deposited in the comments. One of them had to do with what will happen to those who had the verified before the existence of Twitter Blue, to which Musk assured that the system is corrupt and could soon disappear.<span></span></p>

Why is everyone going private on Twitter?

Why is everyone going private on Twitter? - Bolavip US

<p>Since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/elon-musk-finally-responds-to-manchester-uniteds-fans-about-him-buying-the-team-20220816-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Elon Musk</strong></a> took charge of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/elon-musks-controversy-what-is-twitter-blue-and-why-are-celebrities-leaving-the-platform-20221112-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> in October, after buying it for $44 billion, the social media platform has been crumbling and users are not happy with the direction taken by the company. That’s why on Sunday night (Dec. 18), they let Musk know that they want him out.</p>
<p>Musk, who was seen at the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-all-celebrities-spotted-at-the-world-cup-20221122-0051.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 World Cup final in Qatar</a>,</strong> made a poll on Twitter asking users if they want him out as CEO. And, per <em>The New York Times</em>, the verdict was clear: 57.5 percent said he should quit.</p>
<p>While he said that he would accept the result, Musk didn’t comment directly on the results. Instead, he left two cryptic messages: “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it,” and “<strong>Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it.”</strong></p>
<h2>Why do Twitter users want Elon Musk out as CEO?</h2>
<p>Before buying Twitter, Musk positioned himself as a kind of <strong>protector of free speech</strong>. In a tweet published back in April, per The New Yorker, he wrote:<em> “By ‘free speech,’ I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.” </em>However, his latest moves <strong>contradict that statement.</strong></p>
<p>Last week, Twitter <strong>suspended accounts of several journalists</strong> from The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and other outlets, seemingly under a new policy that banned accounts if they shared another person’s “live location,” which also affected dozens of accounts that tracked locations of private planes.</p>
<p>However, <strong>the journalists’ accounts were reinstated </strong>after he asked users if he should allow them back, in which fifty-nine percent responded yes, with 3.7 million votes. Of course, these kinds of decisions, alongside mass layoffs, as well as executive resignations and other high-profile account suspensions, have users unhappy.</p>
<p>The last straw could be Twitter’s announcement of a new policy to prevent users from sharing links and user names from other social platforms, like Instagram, Facebook and Mastodon. Will Musk actually step down as Twitter CEO? For now, it doesn’t seem like it, as he tweeted (as a response to someone): <em>“<strong>No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive</strong>. There is no successor.”</em></p>

<p>Everyone knows that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/elon-musk-finally-responds-to-manchester-uniteds-fans-about-him-buying-the-team-20220816-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Elon Musk</strong></a> is the richest man in the world but no one expected the tycoon to actually buy the social network of the little blue bird. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/elon-musk-officially-buys-twitter-for-44-billion-funniest-memes-and-reactions--20220425-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> has long been the go-to platform for free speech, memes and various other aspects. Many <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/tenoch-huertas-profile-age-height-net-worth-love-life-movies-and-tv-shows-20221111-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrities</a> opted to have a verified user in order to communicate from there.</p>
<p>But everything has changed after Musk bought Twitter, after becoming the company’s largest shareholder. The bizarre acquisition began after the entrepreneur joined the board, which at the time was led by chairman Bret Taylor. In early April he was quite happy and posted several times about how he could turn the company around.</p>
<p>However, after having several private meetings with CEO Parag Agrawal, they did not reach any agreement on changes. So the billionaire became frustrated and decided to buy the company, in order to “<em>put freedom of speech above all else</em>“, as it had been too often <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/kanye-west-what-will-happen-to-the-rappers-music-20221028-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">restricted</a>.</p>
<h2>What is Twitter Blue?</h2>
<p>One of the most promoted ideas since Elon bought the platform is Twitter Blue, which was recently put on hold due to multiple complaints. The social network suspended the possibility to subscribe again to this mode, which <strong>is a paid service that was launched to offer the blue verification check</strong>.</p>
<p>The move came after Twitter was filled with fake accounts, since by being able to buy the verification, anyone could use the name of another person and impersonate them. Thus, several accounts such as Valve, Nintendo, Lebron James, Twitter and even the owner himself, which were not authentic, emerged.</p>
<p>All subscribers who have received the blue check will not lose it, but the option has been momentarily suspended. They could risk being unverified if they do not comply with the rules of the service, which include not impersonating other people.</p>
<h2>Why are celebrities leaving Twitter?</h2>
<p>Several celebrities used the social network to announce that they would be leaving it very soon. The billionaire’s purchase did not go down well with some Hollywood celebrities, who claim that Twitter will now be a breeding ground for misinformation and conspiracy theories. In this context, multiple figures said goodbye to one of the most popular social networks.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the figures also abandoned the social network because of Twitter Blue. Since anyone could use their identities without any problem. The same happened with actress <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/sandra-bullock-and-other-celebrities-that-are-taking-a-break-from-acting-20220320-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sandra Bullock</strong></a>, who had a fake account created with her name and it went viral.</p>
<h2>Who are the stars that have stopped using Twitter so far?</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shonda Rhimes</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>“I don’t plan to stick around for whatever Elon has planned. Goodbye”.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Toni Braxton</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>“I am shocked and distressed by some of the displays of free speech I have seen on this platform since the purchase. Hate speech hidden under free speech is unacceptable. That is why I choose to leave Twitter. It is no longer a safe place for me, my children and other people of color”.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Téa Leoni</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>“Hi everyone. I’m withdrawing from Twitter today-let’s see how things are when everything settles down. There is a lot of hate today, everything is going in the wrong direction. I wish you love, kindness and possibilities for all”.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ken Olin</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>“Let’s keep the faith, let’s protect democracy, let’s try to be kinder. Let’s try to save the planet. Let’s try to be more generous. Let’s seek peace in the world”.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Josh Gad</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>“There’s a big exodus happening on this platform. I’m not sure if I’m staying or not. I’m leaning toward staying, but if today is a sign of things to come, I’m not sure what the point is. Free speech is Hate speech meant to incite harm (without consequences) is not what I signed up for”.</p>

<p>Twitter is now in the hands of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/elon-musk-officially-buys-twitter-for-44-billion-funniest-memes-and-reactions--20220425-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Elon Musk</strong></a> the 50-year-old billionaire and founder of SpaceX, CEO of Tesla, and founder of The Boring Company and X.com. The sale is a reported <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/tom-brady-makes-hilarious-request-to-elon-musk-following-offer-to-buy-twitter-20220414-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$44 billion purchase</a> for the social media platform used to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mino-raiola-reported-dead-only-to-tweet-hes-alive-memes-and-reactions-20220428-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">break news stories</a> and has also become a battleground between its users, at times to gross standards of debate.</p>

<p>While Musk has joked that his next purchase could be Coca-Cola to <em>“put the cocaine back in”</em>, for Twitter Musk has stated the platform has “tremendous potential” that he would unlock. <strong>Well had he spent those billions of dollars on a soccer team he could have purchased some of the top clubs in the World… in one stroke.</strong></p>

<p>In a graph presented by Transfermarkt, the South African native could have literally purchased as manyas 15 teams if he’d just focused those billions on the world’s game.</p>
<p><strong>Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City</strong> alone would have cost Musk just $32.8 billion! <strong>Chelsea </strong>who are in desperate need of a new owner would have cost Musk just $3 billion, chump change for the billionaire.</p>
<p>The teams Musk could have purchased for the same amount as Twitter gets rounded out with<strong> Arsenal, Tottenham, Juventus, Inter Milan, Everton, Atlético de Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund.</strong></p>
<p>Musk could have purchased <strong>Major League Soccer in its entirety, 28 teams, and still had saved money, MLS as a whole is valued at only $14 billion.</strong></p>
<p>Musk likes to do things big, even in his personal life, having been married three times, twice to the same woman and has eight children. Musk has over 87 million followers on Twitter and hopes to make the platform better by enhancing many features.</p>
<p>If only he’d gotten into soccer who knows what a team owned by Musk would look like. But don’t count him out on that just yet.</p>

<p>Brady, however, <strong>is also more than that</strong>.

<p>Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk announced on Thursday he made <strong>an official bid to take Twitter</strong>, in an attempt to lead a colossal transformation ofthe communication giant. Weeks ago, he became the company’s biggest shareholder.</p>
