Should You Leave Twitter?

Goalhanger
About this episode

Elon Musk is suing advertisers over an X / Twitter 'boycott' which in addition to content and his own posts is for many as a bridge too far. Will courts find in his favour and will a drop off in users hurt the company overall?


Katy Perry's comeback appears to have fallen flat, but has it? The reception to her new music seems to suggest it has, so what can be learned and how do you make a successful comeback?


Lastly, Mr Beast. Shooting of the world's biggest gameshow which he's producing for Amazon is underway but it hasn't gone smoothly so far.
