Musk in October 2022, took ownership of the influential social media platform – Twitter in USD 44 billion deal.

In the ensuing days, Musk fired top executives, laid off half of the company’s staff, formed a content moderation council to review account reinstatements and revamped the platform’s subscription service.

There have been many changes in the company since Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took over, some of which have been rather contentious, such as when he opted to restore suspended accounts.

With controversial decisions, Twitter started losing huge amounts of advertisement revenue, after which Musk introduced paid verifications in the form of Twitter Blue.

Musk, in July 2023, rebranded the platform as X over the summer, replacing the well-known blue bird associated with Twitter.

To boost platform engagement, Musk announced on March 28, 2024 that X accounts with over 2,500 verified subscriber followers would be granted free access to Premium features, while those with over 5,000 followers would enjoy Premium+ features at no cost.
