As soon as reports confirmed that Elon Musk had purchased Twitter for $44 Billion, criticism and praises came showering in. Like everything else, even this news was well received by some, and not so well-received by others.
Some individuals had hoped that Musk would purchase Twitter for their own benefit. One such individual is former WWE Superstar Ryback.

Quite a while back, Twitter had restricted Ryback’s account, and The Big Guy thinks WWE had something to do with it. He believes he has never violated the terms and regulations for the platform to restrict him.
Now, Ryback reached out to Elon Musk on social media with a screenshot of what Twitter said about his restricted account. He put the blame on the company’s relationship with WWE and hopes that Musk can help him out in this regard.

The reason the Tesla CEO purchased the social media company is so that he can add features and improve the algorithm. Quite a while back, he criticized Twitter for not allowing free speech and restricting ideas.

Soon after that, a cold war started between Twitter and Elon Musk. The only way for Musk to ensure free speech is not restricted on Twitter was to purchase the company. Hence, he offered, and the company accepted!
