Has speech on Twitter become freer?

Billionaire Elon Musk has shared a cryptic tweet after he is understood to have sealed a $US44bn ($A68bn) deal to takeover Twitter.

“The bird is freed,” Mr Musk tweeted on Friday afternoon, sparking a lot of debate about what that could mean for the social media platform.

Twitter users responded by suggesting this might mean previously suspended accounts, such as the one belonging to former US President Donald Trump, could be reinstated.

Mr Musk’s tweet generated at least 19,000 replies and more than 170,000 likes within minutes of being posted.

Mr Musk sealed a $US44bn deal to buy out Twitter on Friday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Twitter’s chief executive, Parag Agrawal, and chief financial officer Ned Segal are no longer with the company, unnamed sources said, as the Tesla founder takes the reins.
