When asked about the $44 billion buyout of Twitter on the Met Gala red carpet, Musk said, "My goal, assuming everything gets done, would be to make Twitter as inclusive as possible and have as broad a swath of the country and the rest of the world on Twitter."

Musk even commented on his choice of dressing as he said, "Just following the dress code”.

Musk appeared in a jovial mood while attending the event and he even made funny faces while walking on the red carpet. Although there was a lot of chatter on the internet surrounding his appearance, one user quipped – "My entire net worth is in the hands of this man."

Earlier, Musk told the media that he plans to 'expand the reach of Twitter beyond the current 'niche' until most Americans use the social media platform' if the sale goes through. He announced his intention to make the social media platform ‘more inclusive’, according to a Reuters report.
