From Hero To X-ero?

It’s been about a year since Elon Musk took over Twitter and rebranded it as X. What has changed since, what might yet come, and what does this all say about the "public square" that is social media? We speak with Nishant Shah, professor of global media and director of the Digital Narratives Studio at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
