How Elon Musk's Tweets Unleashed A Wave Of Hate | Marianna Spring
Marianna Spring -- BBC Disinformation and social media correspondent

(BBC) -- I had just finished my investigation into whether Twitter can protect users under Elon Musk's ownership, when -- to my surprise -- the man himself tweeted about it.
"Sorry for turning Twitter from nurturing paradise into a place that has … trolls," he said in one tweet, posting a screengrab of the report.
According to Twitter's own data, that tweet was seen by more than 30 million profiles.
"Trolls are kinda fun," Mr Musk said in another reply, in his response to my BBC investigation -- Twitter insiders: We can't protect users from trolling under Musk.
It had exposed how hate is thriving under Twitter's new owner. Current and former Twitter employees told me "nobody is taking care of" features designed to protect users from hate and harm.

I had approached Elon Musk as part of my Panorama investigation, but he didn't respond.
Instead, he decided to share his reaction to it afterwards with more than 130 million followers on his social media site.
