Elon Musk wants to start his own social network fuelled by dogecoin
SpaceX and Tesla boss claims Twitter is ‘failing to adhere to free speech principles’
Elon Musk has said he is giving “serious thought” to creating a new social network that is open source and supports cryptocurrencies like dogecoin.
The world’s richest person floated the idea on his current social network-of-choice, Twitter, after posting a poll on Friday asking his 79 million followers whether they believed Twitter “rigorously adheres” to the principle that “free speech is essential to a functioning democracy”.
He added that “the consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.”
More than 70 per cent of the 2 million respondents clicked ‘no’, prompting the SpaceX and Tesla boss to propose a new platform.
“Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy,” he tweeted. “What should be done?”
One follower suggested he should build a new social media platform, “one that would consist [of] an open source algorithm, one where free speech and adhering to free speech is given top priority, one where propaganda is very minimal”, to which Mr Musk replied, “Am giving serious thought to this.”
He added that any new platform would include a digital tip jar that would support the meme-inspired cryptocurrency dogecoin.
Mr Musk also made comments about another social network, replying to a tweet likening TikTok to “digital crack”.
He said: “TikTok feels like such an obvious AI attack that it’s annoying. I prefer to be attacked by AI with subtlety – maybe a rose, some candles, wine, Barry White, witty banter, that sort of thing.”
If he follows through, Mr Musk would not be the first major public figure to launch his own social media platform, with former US President Donald Trump creating his own app after being banned from Twitter.
Mr Trump said his Truth Social platform would “stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech”, however it has been beset by technical difficulties since launching last month. The reality TV star has also been unusually quiet on his app, failing to post anything beyond a welcome message in the first month of it going live.

Russia, China can't take down Starlink's 2,000+ satellites, says Elon Musk
SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, believes that his company's Starlink satellites are not easy for adversaries like Russia or China to take down. Musk said this during an interview with Business Insider.
Musk spoke to Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Axel Springer, the company that owns Business Insider, recently at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California. The duo discussed space travel, the future of humanity as well as its present which included the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Musk has been very much a part of the Ukrainian defense by supplying Starlink terminals and activating satellite internet services in the country at short notice.
Ukraine's need for satellite internet
While revealing the motivations behind supplying the terminals and the rapid pace at which SpaceX delivered them, Musk said that the company anticipated the need for satellite internet at the beginning of the invasion and preemptively acted on it, even before a formal request was made by Ukraine.
After a cyberattack took off Ukrainian internet connectivity and cell phone towers were either being blown up or jammed, satellite internet was the only viable connection mode available and the SpaceX rushed to provide its services.
While we had earlier reported how private individuals in Ukraine are relying on Starlink, a Business Insider report said that Starlink's internet services were also helping an elite Ukrainian drone unit take out Russian tanks and trucks in the night.
This makes the internet service a prime target for Russian forces.
Not so easy
Musk cited an anti-satellite test that Russia had conducted last where it used its anti-ballistic missile interceptor, PL-19 Nudol system, for its direct ascent anti-satellite (DA-AST) to test, and destroyed an older satellite of its own. The resulting space debris not only spooked satellite operators but also caused a scare for the International Space Station.
However, Musk is confident that such a system won't be used against its satellites. Starlink currently operates over 2,000 satellites and to bring the entire constellation down would cost an adversary, 2,000 of its anti-satellite weapons.
Interestingly, Musk thinks that SpaceX can put up more satellites in space than adversaries can bring down in a given time frame.
He does hope that this is never put to test, though.
