After months of tumultuous back and forth between Twitter and Elon Musk, the billionaire is now officially the owner of the social media platform. Musk has been very clear about his stance on Twitter and free speech, and it appears some changes are in order now that he's taken over.
With that said, will you continue to use Twitter now that Elon Musk is the owner?
His first days as owner were pretty dramatic, to say the least. Before the deal was closed, he walked into Twitter headquarters with a sink because he wanted to "let that sink in." However, his first big act after the acquisition was completed was to fire CEO Parag Agarwal, who had only been appointed to the role for less than a year, CFO Ned Segal, and other top executives. The power move rid Musk of those he believed were not being honest with him about the number of spam bots on the platform, which has been something of a major point of contention during the months following the acquisition proposal.
The same day he posted a series of tweets such as "the bird is freed" and one outlining the reasoning behind his acquisition of the platform, saying he wants to turn it into a "digital town square" for people with different points of view. He also says that Twitter won't become a "free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said without consequences.

You can see more.
Musk could turn the platform into something else. The moderation policies have been put in place to make users feel safe. These moderation practices led to the creation of Truth Social and the banning of Donald Trump. No changes have been made to the moderation policies.
