The judge, Reed O’Connor, in Fort Worth, Texas, has rejected calls for him to step down from the high-profile case Musk filed against Media Matters, a watchdog group.

Two years ago, Elon Musk bought the social media platform Twitter, now known as X, in a $44 billion deal. Now it's estimated to be worth $7 billion. Along that same timeline Musk has become more vocal in his far-right-wing politics. The new book "Character Limit" charts Musk and Twitter's downward spiral.

The platform X is now hiding all users' likes, with few exceptions. It says the change protects users' privacy — but critics say it removes a layer of accountability in the process.

Twitter has long had a bot problem, but since moderation on the platform was gutted and paid users were given "prioritization" in replies, the landscape has changed.

Since his purchase of the social media platform, Musk has alluded to transforming Twitter into an 'everything app' called 'X,' akin to the WeChat app in China.

Meta's new app, Threads, may be the latest in a long-string of Twitter's competitors, but it appears to have an edge in the game thanks to its ties to Instagram. Over 30 million users have joined.

Many people who tried to access content on the platform were met with error messages. Twitter CEO Elon Musk says 'extreme levels of data scraping' are affecting user experience on the site.

Black Twitter has been a force since the platform started. Now, one woman is seeking to archive it, as Twitter's future appears uncertain.

The social media platform also dropped the "state-affiliated" label from propaganda outlets in Russia and China.
