Elon Musk is rallying to make Twitter into an everything app, and he has taken the first step to do so by changing it into X. Since Musk acquired the platform, he has made a lot of changes due to depleting revenue. However, one thing that remains unchanged is Musk’s determination to be a free-speech advocate.
Elon Musk aimed to make Twitter, or X, a digital town hall of democracy. In an attempt to make it so, he reinstated the accounts of many controversial personalities, like Donald Trump and Kanye West. He also allowed political advertisements on the platform after Jack Dorsey banned them. Now, he has leaped to protect it by paying the employees’ legal fees who get fired for liking or posting content on X.
