Elon Musk’s calamitous time at Twitter, or X as he wants to call it, has wrecked the platform. But could he go as far as tanking the company entirely? Today in The Bunker, Chris Jones speaks with Ryan Broderick, tech journalist and writer of the Garbage Day substack, to find out if we could see the end of the site – and what impact its demise would have upon the Tesla chief’s other business ventures.
• "On X, you can see family friendly adverts beside some of the most hateful content you can imagine.” – Ryan Broderick
• “Purely right wing social media platforms just don’t work." – Ryan Broderick
• “Elon Musk has never found a rake he didn’t want to step on." – Ryan Broderick
