In a New York Times guest essay, MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes claimed that “in under a month” all of his “worst fears have been realized” in regard to how new Twitter owner Elon Musk has run his new social media platform.
Hayes also expressed worry that under Musk, the platform may “break down and stop working altogether.” as a “near-death experience,” if not the end of it entirely. He wrote, “If Twitter survives — and I fervently hope it does — its near-death experience has revealed something fundamental about our online lives: the digital spaces of civic life, the ‘public town square’ as Mr. Musk deemed Twitter, have been privatized, to our collective detriment.
He continued by praising Twitter prior to Musk as “an arena where something akin to the global conversation was taking place.” He added, “it came closest to executing on the core vision of what the global town square could look like.”He continued, “That’s why there was so much apprehension when Mr. Musk bought the site: No one man should have all that power.”
Hayes then gave a dismissive description of why Musk bought the platform, writing, “Mr. Musk bought Twitter because he’s a Twitter addict and, more specifically, an extremely online attention addict.”
