Elon Musk Marks Second Anniversary of X Purchase

Two years after Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, now known as X, the platform has experienced significant upheaval and controversy. Following drastic staff reductions and the abandonment of many content moderation policies, users mourned Twitter's decline while new competitors like Threads and Bluesky emerged. Despite a 28% drop in daily active users, X remains a prominent space for online discourse, albeit rife with misinformation and contentious debates. Musk's reforms have sparked discussions on free speech but have also led to increased hate speech and advertiser concerns. The platform's chaotic evolution has transformed it into a more culturally vital yet financially precarious entity, where various ideological groups continue to clash. As Musk reflects on his acquisition, the future of X remains uncertain amidst ongoing challenges and transformations.
