Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover

Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover

Author: Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show October 31, 2022 Duration: 30:04
Elon Musk’s $44bn Twitter takeover has pleased Donald Trump – delighted he said that the social media company is in now what he describes as “safe hands” but it hasn’t pleased every Twitter user. The hashtag “delete” has been trending reflecting the fact that many people are now threatening to leave the site.   Referencing Twitter’s logo, Musk has said “the bird is freed” but does that mean that we can expect to see a rise in hate speech and far right politics?   Adrian Goldberg hears from Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate and Heidi Siegmund Cuda from the Radicalized Pod. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.   Funded by subscriptions to the Byline Times.

Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show is exactly that: a series of conversations driven by the host's curiosity about the people and forces shaping our world. This podcast sits at the intersection of society and culture, exploring the stories behind the headlines and the ideas that often go unexamined. Adrian brings his journalistic background to each discussion, creating a space where guests-from thinkers and writers to everyday people with extraordinary experiences-can speak in depth. The tone is engaging and thoughtful, more like a compelling chat in a quiet pub than a formal interview. You'll hear explorations of politics, community shifts, artistic movements, and the subtle ways our lives are changing. It’s a show built on the premise that good talk can illuminate the bigger picture, one conversation at a time. Listeners find themselves drawn into dialogues that are both timely and timeless, where the focus is on understanding rather than spectacle. Tune in for a podcast that values substance and genuine exchange, where the title truly is the promise.
