Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also said that the digital realm has 'facilitated kind of interesting but wrong ideas spreading very quickly.'
Bill Gates says that Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $44 billion effort to improve Twitter should not be underestimated.
"You wouldn't want to underestimate Elon. What he did at Tesla is amazing, helping with climate change, what he did at SpaceX," Gates told the "Today" show. "Will he, this time, make that improvement? … Elon thinks he can improve Twitter. Well, I don't know specifically what he'll do, but there's an opportunity and we need innovation in that space.
"We need to innovate so that digital realm is more of a positive thing of getting the truth out and people are seeing that 'hey, this is false,'" he added.
