"In a race to the bottom, Elon Musk paved the way for a new, toxic tech basement," says Nora Benavidez, senior counsel at the nonprofit Free Press. "Yet, as long as other platforms aren't quite as abysmal, they squeak by under cover of Twitter's failures." This statement highlights how Musk's actions have lowered the standards for social media platforms, affecting accountability and content quality.
"[Musk] is smart enough to understand that to control the narrative, you want to control the media," says a former Twitter employee. "And social media is media." This emphasizes the strategic importance Musk sees in dominating social media narratives to shape public opinion and influence.
