Elon Musk gave a glimpse of his plans for Twitter while walking the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City on Monday night – revealing his ambition for the divisive social-media platform to be “as inclusive as possible.”

“Right now, it’s sort of niche. I want a much bigger percentage of the country to be on it, engaging in dialogue,” a tuxedo-clad Musk told reporters at the event, according to Reuters.

In an interview with Vogue, Musk added that he wanted to “make Twitter as inclusive as possible and to have as broad a swath of the country and the rest of the world on Twitter and that they find it interesting and entertaining and funny and it makes their life better.”

Meanwhile, Musk downplayed concerns about an employee exodus on the red carpet, telling reporting “it’s a free country” and they were free to seek other opportunities as they wished.

“Certainly if anyone doesn’t feel comfortable with that, they will on their own accord go somewhere else. That’s fine,” Musk said.

Musk attended the swanky event alongside his mother, model Maye Musk, in what was one of his first public appearances since Twitter’s board accepted his offer to buy the company for $44 billion.

The tech entrepreneur’s deal to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share is expected to close later this year. Both sides have agreed to a $1 billion breakup fee under certain conditions if the deal falls apart.
