Elon Musk has been invited to speak to MPs about his proposed acquisition of Twitter
Mr Musk, the richest man in the world by net worth, has frequently expressed concerns that Twitter's control of free speech goes too far - despite it being one of the least policed social media platforms.
So far, the question of whether Donald Trump, and others who have been banned or suspended from the site, will be allowed back has gone unanswered, both by Mr Musk and by Twitter executives.Explaining his interest in purchasing the platform, Mr Musk said:"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.
"Twitter has tremendous potential - I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it," he wrote.
