Bill Gates says Elon Musk is taking a 'seat-of-the-pants' approach to decision-making at Twitter
Gates, the cofounder of Microsoft, said in an interview with the publication that Twitter was making digital polarization worse. He said it was unclear whether the challenge of tackling digital polarization was down to human judgment or engineering.
"I think, certainly, the Twitter situation is stirring things up. That, instead of an objective set of measures done by a broad group of people, you're sort of seeing seat-of-the-pants type activity," Gates told the FT. The philanthropist added that social-media platforms needed to pay attention to what caused misunderstandings about vaccine safety or what incited riots.
Twitter and representatives for Gates didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside of normal US operating hours.
