I worked at Twitter – these are the five simple steps Musk must take to save X
As someone who spent seven years as a Twitter curator, I’ve watched Elon Musk systematically dismantle a platform I loved, encouraging its users to be their worst selves while applying dangerously inconsistent approaches to crucial issues like hate speech and misinformation. The #LoveWhereYouWork slogan, displayed proudly on the wall in every Twitter office, wasn’t just corporate propaganda – we were genuinely invested in making this insanely powerful platform a force for good. Currently, many users feel the platform isn’t “for” them anymore – and they’re voting with their feet by moving to alternatives like Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads. The question isn’t whether X can be reformed – it’s whether Musk is willing to put aside his personal agenda for the greater good of the platform he spent $44bn to acquire.
