Elon Musk spoke out in his first tweet since Twitter announced an agreement for him to acquire the entire company for almost $44 billion.

In a post, Musk shared a screenshot of his statement in a Twitter press release announcing the agreement and added “Yesss!!!”

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in the statement. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”
