Understanding the chaos at Twitter and why it matters to the rest of us.
Since taking charge of Twitter in October, Elon Musk has temporarily banned some journalists from the platform, overhauled the verification system, reinstated Donald Trump's Twitter account and laid off more than half Twitter's workforce.
