Episode Notes
Since Elon Musk bought Twitter (now TwitterX) in 2022, he has increasingly used the platform to promote his conservative views. Advertisers’ lawsuit against a nonprofit brand safety group and an exclusive interview with former President Trump suggest that Elon was never interested in maintaining Twitter as a town square, but rather wanted to use it as a platform to spread his political agenda.
Guest: Nitish Pahwa, Associate Writer, Business and Technology, Slate
