A recent study published on March 21, 2026, indicates that Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter, now X, may lead to an authoritarian model of social media governance.
The findings suggest a shift towards centralized control, where a single owner could influence content moderation and platform policies, potentially resulting in political bias.
This transformation raises critical questions about the architecture and capacity of social media platforms, as the implications of owner-dominated structures could affect user engagement and trust.
