Summary

It finally happened. After months of "maybe, maybe not," Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion. Now the question is, what happens next?  In the past, Musk said he thought Twitter should follow the same free speech laws that exist within America’s public square, says Jake Denton, a research associate with The Heritage Foundation’s Tech Policy Center. The indication from Musk is that “he will stick to that,” Denton says. Denton, who is currently locked out of his own Twitter account, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why he is cautiously optimistic about Musk’s takeover of Twitter and to describe the changes that might be coming to the social media platform.  Enjoy the show!
