EXPLAINER: How Elon Musk is changing what you see on Twitter

What you’re seeing in your feed on Twitter is changing. But how? The social media platform’s new owner, Elon Musk, has been trying to prove through giving selected journalists access to some of the company’s internal communications dubbed “The Twitter Files” that officials from the previous leadership team allegedly suppressed right-wing voices. This week, Musk disbanded a key advisory group, the Trust and Safety Council, a group of around 100 independent civil, human rights and other organizations that the company formed to address hate speech, child exploitation and other issues. What do the developments mean for what shows up in your feed every day? For one, the moves show that Musk is prioritizing improving Twitter’s perception on the U.S. political right.
