Responding to one of the tweets, Musk said that it's time for Twitter to offer the option of long-form tweets.

Several followers started responding to the poll and put forward their point, saying Musk shouldn’t spend so much on buying Twitter, instead should direct the money to fight world hunger or build shelters for homeless people. 

Why mr Elon, you can spend money for poor ppl there are millions poor and many homeless do something to provide shelter for homeless and low income ppl
