Ep 79 - Elon Musk's Twitter: What Happens Next and What to Expect - a podcast by London Ctr for Policy Research

from 2022-04-27T23:08:08

Elon Musk did what he said he would do: after an unjust suspension of the Babylon Bee account over a parody story, the Tesla founder bought Twitter and will take the company private after a transition period. The reaction all around has been predictable: those on the right consider this a victory for free speech while pundits and Blue Checkmarks on the Left are lamenting the end of free speech. While it's fun to watch, the London Center for Policy Research looks into what happens next and what can we realistically expect?

On this special edition of Thought to Action, We look into:
Project Veritas' posting of audio from the Twitter "All Hands On Deck" meeting led by CEO Parag Agarwal.
The sudden change in Twitter followers for both Conservative and Liberal influencers virtually overnight leading to suspicions of engineered biased algorithms the company does not to be revealed to the public
Will there be a "mass exodus" or "insurgency of saboteurs" from some current Twitter employees?
Will Musk clean house when he takes over?
Why are left-leaning pundits going hysterical over this purchase?
The irony of Adam Schiff saying Twitter will become a haven of "disinformation" when Musk takes control.
Will Twitter allow people unjustly suspended over wrongthink be welcomed back on the Social Media platform?
Also - what will Elon Musk do with the company on the business end?
