What happens to 'Black Twitter' under Musk?

NPR  

What happens to 'Black Twitter' under Musk? MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: It's been only a couple of weeks since billionaire Elon Musk acquired Twitter, and the ensuing, well, chaos has been late-night comedy gold. MARTIN: Clark is an associate professor in journalism and communications studies at Northeastern University, and she's the author of a forthcoming book on Black Twitter. MARTIN: So again, talking about how Black Twitter's reacted to that, I've seen some people are leaving. MARTIN: So before I let you go, now that you've had some days to think about the implications of Musk's ownership and all the things that he says he's going to do and the way this amplifies elements that, frankly, have been very dedicated to anti-Blackness and to hostility toward people who have been historically underrepresented or part of historically marginalized identities - you've already said that you think that that space will continue even without Twitter.
