‘Thank You Elon’ – Tennis Legend Martina Navratilova Not Happy With Elon Musk After Reinstating Controversial Account on Twitter After 9 Years of Ban

Former Czech-American tennis star Martina Navratilova never shies away from giving her opinion publicly. Recently, Tesla owner Elon Musk took over Twitter, and he has made plenty of changes to the microblogging website. Due to the rapid changes, various people who depend on the platform are raising their concerns. Navratilova also voiced her dissatisfaction after the new policy meant that a controversial personality will use Twitter again.

After her retirement, Navratilova works as a tennis analyst and is pretty active on Twitter. However, the 65-year-old also keeps an eye on important issues other than tennis.

Navratilova fumes as previously banned user returns to Twitter

Twitter banned Andrew Anglin in 2013 after he founded the white supremacist website The Daily Stormer. However, a slurry of changes in the guidelines and policies implemented by Elon Musk after his takeover ensured his return to Twitter. This has infuriated the eighteen-time Grand Slam champion, Martina Navratilova.

Navratilova took to her Twitter account to voice her dissent. Here’s what she wrote. “How to legitimize the worst of the worst… thank you Elon.”

There are various other changes that made people angry. The most important one was implementing a subscription plan for the blue tick verification system. While the blue tick helped people differentiate from fake accounts, now anyone can pay for the verification mark. Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian also expressed his dissatisfaction with the policy change.

Why Martina Navratilova will never buy a Tesla

Even before Elon Musk took over Twitter, Navratilova was critical of the Tesla CEO. Last year, Musk engaged in a heated argument with Bernie Sanders. All he did to trigger Musk was ask for fair tax collection from rich people in the country. Musk was quick to reply with a cheeky remark. Later, Navratilova reacted to the discussion and said that this is the reason why she will never buy a Tesla in her life.
