Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski argues Twitter ‘opening up’ free speech is a ‘good thing,’ and says he’s ‘excited’ for Elon Musk’s takeover.
Elon Musk's $44 billion Twitter deal "amplified" the social media platform’s "free speech ecosystem," according to Rumble CEO.
"What Elon has done here is fantastic," Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said on "Mornings with Maria," Wednesday.
"It's really broadened and amplified this asset class… now everybody wants to be part of this free speech ecosystem."

Truth Social is Rumble’s first major client. Pavlovski noted the number of people interested in the cloud is "enormous."
"Rumble and Truth have been trailblazers in this new asset class," Pavlovski remarked. "Twitter opening up is a good thing… I’m really excited with what Elon is doing."
He continued to say that free speech doesn’t happen at the "platform level," but at the "infrastructure level," and Musk taking over Twitter will "present a huge opportunity" for the company.

Meanwhile, Musk has criticized Twitter in the past for its censorship and has mentioned he intends to push the social media platform to promote free speech.
Rumble prides itself on being a smaller-scale YouTube alternative video-sharing platform, and the CEO said he’s looking forward to opening up the company’s cloud to other businesses.
