Netflix founder praises Elon Musk: "The bravest person in the world"

Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings spoke highly of Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk. Hastings, who attended a conference organized by the New York Times, interpreted Musk's acquisition of Twitter as "a positive contribution to the planet". Hastings stated that the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX could also spend $44 billion to buy a giant yacht, but Musk "wanted to do something for the planet" with this money: His work in many areas is outstanding. He has a different style. I come here and try to be a stable, respectable leader; he is in the square.

Hastings called Musk "the bravest, most creative in the world" and stated that the famous billionaire's motivation for buying Twitter was his belief in freedom of thought and democracy. The Netflix founder also mentioned that some of the changes Musk made after he took Twitter were unsuccessful and therefore subject to heavy criticism. Responding to the negative response of Musk to change the verified account system and link it to a paid subscription, Hastings said: "Users are very whiny about blue ticks, especially looking for faults. Yes, Musk messes things up, but he's trying to use all his money to improve democracy and society, to create a more open platform. I am approaching this goal warmly. Can you give the man some slack?"
