Episode description

It’s a year since Elon Musk formally completed his acquisition of X, formerly known as Twitter. Since then the business has faced a number of challenges, including ongoing issues surrounding content moderation and a battle to make the platform profitable.

To help us understand the business from all angles, Adam is joined by the BBC’s disinformation correspondent, Marianna Spring, and tech investor Ross Gerber.

And, the BBC’s Leila Nathoo drops in to discuss tensions in the Labour Party after Sadiq Khan, Andy Burnham and Anas Sarwar all call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
