Elon Musk completed his acquisition of the social media company formerly called Twitter nearly a year ago. At a time of intense polarization in the U.S. and worldwide, the move placed the richest man in the world in charge of one of the world\u2019s most important platforms for news and political debate \u2014 and also put Musk squarely at the center of an ongoing debate about the limits of free speech and the spread of lies online. This two-hour documentary from the team behind \u201cAmazon Empire\u201d and \u201cThe Facebook Dilemma\u201d pulls back the curtain on the influential social media platform\u2019s inner workings both before and after Musk\u2019s takeover. In extraordinary, in-depth interviews, former Twitter employees give remarkable first-person accounts of how controversial content moderation decisions were made in the pre-Musk era, including the banning of former President Donald Trump after Jan. 6, 2021. Former Twitter employees also give first-person accounts of the changes Musk made inside Twitter after buying the company, shedding new light on questions about free speech, hate speech and safety that have intensified during his tenure at the helm of the platform. \u201cElon Musk\u2019s Twitter Takeover\u201d probes the profound impact Musk\u2019s decisions have had on politics, speech and culture. \u201cElon Musk\u2019s Twitter Takeover\u201d is a FRONTLINE production with Left\/Right Docs.
