On today's episode, we delve into the stormy seas that Twitter Inc., or X Corp as it's now known, is currently navigating. We’ll be discussing everything from a multi-million dollar lawsuit claiming Twitter failed to pay promised employee bonuses, to new user policies shaking the Twitterverse. We'll dissect the transformative effect that Musk's takeover has had on this social media behemoth, as well as how these dramatic changes are spurring user migration and a surge in litigation.

The platform now faces mounting legal challenges, a discontented user base, and the departure of key advertisers. Yet amidst the upheaval, some competitors, such as Bluesky, are witnessing record-high traffic.
