Elon Musk's Twitter Info War

Byline Podcast - A podcast by Adrian Goldberg

What exactly is Elon Musk up to with Twitter?   Since buying the social media platform for $44billion dollars in October, the US billionaire has given an amnesty to users who’d previously been banned; he’s overseen the departure of thousands of staff; he’s dissolved the Trust and Safety Council; and he’s abandoned Twitter’s Covid disinformation policy. He tweeted that "the bird has been freed" but there's evidence that it's advertisers and users who've taken flight. Adrian Goldberg hears from Heidi Cuda of the Byline Supplement and the Radicalized Pod as well as Byline Times Executive Editor Peter Jukes.
