When Elon Musk's $44 billion deal to buy Twitter was confirmed on Monday afternoon, it set off a wave of reactions across the platform itself—and elsewhere. https://t.co/yZmjSBQ323

Many right-wing figures, such as Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, rejoiced at the news.

In recent years, many conservative figures have adopted a posture of antagonism toward Twitter, which they claim has been targeting right-wing voices for undue censorship.

Meanwhile, some prominent voices on the left expressed apprehension at Musk's acquisition of the social media giant, warning his time at Twitter's helm could make the platform inherently more toxic and unaccountable to marginalized users. https://t.co/Tr2dx3R4oZ

Critics like Robert Reich and Nina Turner spoke out against the fact that Musk was able to even buy Twitter for $44B in the first place and what that means for a capitalist society struggling with widespread inequality. https://t.co/7SQKzaqolV
