While Musk's purported dedication to transparency is questioned, his efforts to shape Twitter into an all-encompassing control hub have raised alarms about heightened surveillance and control. Appointing a content suppressor further fans doubts. While Musk has supported censored individuals, he's also accused of exacerbating divisions.
