Free Speech Inc.: Will Musk Break Twitter?

News of Elon Musk buying Twitter has enraged some users – but what could he actually do with the platform? Could he break it in the ways some fear? Alex Andreou is joined by Charles Arthur, former technology editor of The Guardian and author of Social Warming: The Dangerous and Polarising Effects of Social Media, to discuss what the billionaire tech mogul might do with the site. 


“You have to distinguish between the Musk you see on Twitter and the one who's in business.”

“Twitter does have enormous value to it, but no one has found a way to extract that value.”

“Don't listen to what he says, watch what he does.”
