Ann Skeet, Santa Clara University’s Senior Director of Leadership Ethics says Musk’s move to deregulate speech on the platform and his move to acquire Twitter itself poses two main ethical challenges.

“One issue is the concentration of power in the hands of wealthy people, which is very counter to democratic ideals and principles, and the other is the lack of means of holding people responsible for their words and actions on social media platforms,” Skeet said.
