Since then, the company鈥檚 been through some big changes; laying off most of its 8000 employees, a rebrand to 鈥榅鈥�, and reinstating some previously banned accounts on the platform.

Mr Musk describes himself a free speech absolutist and says he bought Twitter 鈥� now called X - to create a space where 鈥渁 wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner.鈥� However, the company鈥檚 faced criticism over lax content moderation, leading to advertisers halting ads on the service.
