Hogan Gidley, a former White House deputy press secretary during the Trump administration, says the significance of Elon Musk purchasing Twitter “cannot be understated.”

In an interview with NTD Wednesday, Gidley laid out his view that the $44 billion purchase of the social media platform will allow for a more diverse range of voices and opinions, making the app more of a “town square” of free speech, as Musk has called it.
