Twitter changes under Elon Musk is the summation of the controversial alterations made to the prominent social media company Twitter, Inc. and its user interface after billionaire business magnate Elon Musk acquired it in October 2022.

History

Twitter is a social media platform that allows users to send and receive short messages called tweets. It was launched in 2006 and has since become one of the most popular social networks in the world, with over 368 million monthly active users [1]. Twitter allows users to share text, images, and videos, and also supports live streaming. The platform also has a feature called "trending topics" which highlights popular keywords or hashtags that many users are tweeting about. The tweets are short and limited to 280 characters, which makes it easy for users to consume and share large amounts of information quickly. Twitter has been used for a wide range of purposes, including sharing news, promoting businesses, and connecting with friends and family. It has also played a role in political and social movements, as it allows individuals and organizations to quickly disseminate information to a large audience.
