When he purchased Twitter, Elon Musk had more than 112 million followers, making him one of the loudest voices on social media platform. But what happens when the guy who preaches from the town square, suddenly owns the town square?

After just a few days at the helm of Twitter, Musk has raised concerns about his intentions, from both inside and outside of the company. One man who claimed to be a fired employee posted a tearful tweet about being grateful to be part of the team that banned Donald Trump from the platform.

It was a tweet by Musk himself, giving credence to a bizarre right-wing conspiracy theory about the attack on Paul Pelosi, that has people wondering if he understands the gravity of his new position.
