But on the evening of May 18, Musk decided to break the silence, saying to both Cuban and T(w)itter Daily News (a Twitter news account dedicated to Twitter 2.0)  in a thread started by Cuban about the topic of free speech, "Suggestions for improvement are welcome."

Cuban replied by writing the equivalent of a treatise, outlining seven steps he thinks could improve the platform mostly focused on the way the For You tab works on Twitter. 

Among Cuban's criticisms are that the accounts that appear in For You tweets are people who tweet the most frequently and have the most reach affect the way the For You algorithm works for everyone else. 

"The easy change, and again, @elonmusk company, his choice, would be to allow people to choose whether the For You is shown or hidden or to allow the % of in network Vs out of network tweets shown in For You to be user controlled," Cuban summed up.

While it's only been about a half hour since Cuban sent the tweet, Musk so far has not replied.
