Elon Musk himself has been a pretty controversial matter for a while now, creating electric cars, being the richest man in the world, experimenting with space, and much more. Now we are at the point where he is buying Twitter. Here is why you should try to throw your own swing on this as quick as possible.

Twitter has been a very used app since it started out back in 2006 and has really been boosted in a great way over the pandemic. It has been on the news countless times and has also gotten itself a fine reputation in it’s years of being up. Nobody would have ever imagined that someone would just walk up and decide to buy it. But here is the thing, someone did.

A bit of a backstory with Elon Musk dates back all the way to when he started Tesla. A controversial topic over the years, people have started to buy electric cars to preserve the now rare fossil fuels that we have been charging cars with for centuries. Elon decided that he was going to also start Spacex, which is another space program that is trying to “reduce space transportation costs to enable the colonization of Mars” according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spacex.

How the whole thing happened:

On January 31, 2022 Elon Musk did the impossible. He reached into his pocket and decided that he would single-handedly buy Twitter. The $44bn transaction went on a surge through social media and rocketed throughout the news and other applications, making it one of the most viewed topics and searched terms on google and trending pages. But as always, with popularity, comes controversy.

The controversy:

Ever since the transaction happened, people have been booming about the whole situation saying that “the government should interfere” and “someone needs to stop Tesla.” Here is the issue with that. The government is a democracy, and is known for free speech and not interfering with the inner works of the U.S. That do not need to be interfered with. If people are asking the government to interfere with the Twitter transaction, they are asking for a dictatorial action that actually goes against what the Declaration of Independence stated against.

Why you should write about this topic:

Since the topic is so controversial in many ways and has been a big hit on the internet for a good few days now, here is how you can use this to your advantage. Write a story about your perspective on the whole situation, stating facts and sources that helps out your story and cleans it up in a tidy fashion. Since it is so viewed and people want to get more information on it, they will most likely come to yours as the tag will be pushed out more because it is so wanted at the time.

You can apply this to almost any topic that is highly controversial at the time. The best way to do this is to find the topic when it is little and make a post before it booms and brings different viewers toward your account.
