Description

It's been 3 years since Elon Musk bought Twitter. The revamped "X" remains extremely polarizing with many leaving the platform for a number including concerns about bots, racism and misinformation.

Recently, the CEO of X stepped down and on top of all the other issues, the account for Sesame Street icon Elmo had his X account hacked.

Host Kris McCusker speaks to Kurt Wagner, senior reporter for Bloomberg who covers social media. He's also the author of “Battle for the Bird: Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk and the 44 billion dollar fight for Twitter's Soul” about the platform’s future – and what might come next.
