Users should be allowed to say whatever they want on Twitter, Musk said
When it comes to legal but potentially harmful speech, Musk told Twitter officials that people should be allowed to say what they want.
But that’s different from Twitter, which promotes the speech, Musk said, according to the source.
Users have the right to filter content they don’t want to see, he added. Musk said the standard is much more than not offending people, but having fun and informing.
Musk echoed the opinion he expressed online earlier that if 10% of the far left and far right are upset, Twitter is doing the right thing.
Addressing the topic of inclusion and diversity, Musk said that the most inclusive thing you need to do is include all people on Twitter.
He said he believed in strict meritocracy.

Musk has a strong penchant for personal work
Musk, who recently told Tesla employees to return to work in their offices 40 hours a week or leave, seems to differentiate between telecommuting and Twitter.
“Tesla makes cars and you can’t make cars from a distance,” Musk said, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Musk did not specify what his remote control policy would look like for Twitter employees, and said that if someone is exceptional in their work, remote work is good, according to the source.
But Musk said his “bias is strong about working personally.”
