One of the more concerning aspects of Twitter 2.0, under the leadership of new owner Elon Musk, is that the platform is slowly becoming more aligned with his own ideology, and his personal thinking on various fronts.

Elon has also spoken of how happy he was to remove the blue checkmark from the account of The New York Times, a publication that he regularly criticizes, while he’s also changed policies based on his own personal experiences, despite them, potentially, having far wider-reaching impacts.
