Now that Elon Musk is officially the CEO of Twitter, how will the richest man in the world choose to shape the future of the most influential social media platform? Bec Hill finds out by assembling her team of Elon experts to unpack everything that has happened in the days since Elon walked into Twitter HQ with a bathroom sink.

As the 16-year-old app begins an unprecedented transformation, Bec talks to tech journalists about the plans Elon has already laid out for blue ticks, content moderation and potentially bringing back controversial users. They discuss the swift cuts Elon made to his senior management team and what this could all mean for the future of Twitter. Then Bec speaks to the voice of Elon’s tweets about what it was like to inhabit the Chief Twit and what he and the other guests would do if they were powerful tech billionaires.

Produced by Audio Always for BBC Radio 5 Live.
