Partway through Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover, the new Frontline documentary from filmmakers James Jacoby and Anya Bourg (Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos), former Twitter employee Yoel Roth states, “No one should have that kind of power. But that power exists.”
Roth’s statement comes in response to Jacoby questioning Twitter’s 2021 decision to suspend the account of then-President Donald Trump after several of Trump’s tweets were flagged for inciting violence during the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. According to the documentary, it also served as catalyst for Elon Musk’s decision to purchase the far-reaching social platform and remake it in his own image.
