Last week, the saga of Musk's takeover of the social media site came to an end when he completed the deal.
As the world's richest person took charge, news swirled about Musk's ideas to shake things up, with reports that the site's verification process will be dramatically changed, and staff complaining of being asked to take on longer hours.
Many believe that it could become a space for extreme viewpoints to thrive after Musk promised changes to the type of content that can be posted.
In the wake of the takeover, a number of celebrities, including "Bridgerton" creator Shonda Rhimes and musician Sara Bareilles, have announced they are leaving the platform.
Stephen King said he would leave the site if Musk charged $20 a month.
Insider has put together a list of ways that users can protect their data on the site.
It's free for now, but made over $5 billion last year. Advertising and data licensing made up the majority of this. You can limit the information that the platform cleans from you, but you can't stop it all.
If you go to the "Settings and privacy" tab on the left side of your feed, you'll find a few things you can opt out of.
"Personalized ads" and "Inferred identity" can be turned off under the "Ad preferences" section.
The app can't give your information to other companies if you don't check " data sharing with business partners"
Musk has previously described himself as a "free speech absolutist" and announced plans for a moderation council with "widely diverse viewpoints" to make decisions about what can be said on the platform.
You can make your account private if you want to be less visible on the social networking site. "Privacy and safety" can be found at the bottom of "Audience and tagging"
Under "Mute and block," the "Privacy and safety" tab allows you to keep certain words and accounts out of your feed.
You might want to make sure that you don't share your location while you're on the internet.
Click the button underneath if you want to remove any information that was shared.
You should back up your data in case you change your mind if you're weighing up whether or not to leave the social networking site.
Click "Download an archive of your data" and enter your password to get a ZIP file of your account information. When it's ready to download, you'll receive a notification.
If you've been on the site for a while, it can take some time to get rid of one single message. If you want to start fresh, you can use websites likeTweetdelete.net.
All of your likes can be deleted.
It's time to say farewell once and for all. You can go to the "Deactivate your account" tab.
If you change your mind within 30 days, you will be able to restore your account.
