An MSNBC host is warning that there could be massive “consequences” to letting people tweet freely.
On Thursday, host Katy Tur discussed Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter.
“There are real and devastating consequences for using to lie,” Tur said.
She continued, “ wants to buy it, but there are massive, life and globe-altering consequences for just letting people run wild on the thing.”
Journalist Kara Swisher, of The New York Times, agreed but suggested, “This is a very small company. It has an outsized influence because media people like it, politicians, world leaders, and Elon Musk.”
“So one of the issues is if he’s not going to do this…what is he going to do? He’s going to have to somehow unload this 10%. And that’s probably what he’s going to have to do,” she added.

Tur noted that Musk said on Thursday he has a “plan B” if his bid to buy Twitter is unsuccessful.
“That’s what a supervillain/hero would say, right? He thinks he’s Tony Stark, right? That’s what they’d say. However you feel about him, that’s what Tony Stark would say,” she added.
