The world’s wealthiest man, Elon Musk, has finally taken over the social media website Twitter. Chaos has ensued in the first days of Musk’s reign, with around half the workforce laid off, verification potentially being tied to an $8 subscription, and concerns surrounding content moderation policies under the new regime.

On this week’s episode of The India Story, Vikram Chandra ponders the fate of Twitter, and discusses the issue with Prateek Waghre, Policy Director at the Internet Freedom Foundation.
