When asked about Elon Musk's potential Twitter buyout, an official with the World Health Organization said good stewardship of social media platforms is extremely important.

"When anyone reaches a position in life where they have so much potential influence over the way information is shared with communities, [they take] on a huge responsibility," said Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization's Health Emergencies Programme.

"We wish Mr. Musk luck with his endeavors to improve the quality of information," Dr Ryan said, adding, "In cases like this pandemic, good information is life saving."
