Usage of the N-Word Surges on Twitter Platform
Billionaire Elon Musk's recent ownership of Twitter has prompted a surge on the usage of the N- word on the platform. The Network Contagion Research Institute conducted research that unveiled an increase of approximately 500% in the 12 hours following the finalization of Musk's deal with Twitter. It looks like social media trolls are testing the boundaries of free speech which Elon Musk proclaimed the platform would have under his leadership. After news of the report circulated, LeBron James suggested on Twitter that Musk sincerely and seriously look into the increase. "I dont know Elon Musk and, TBH, I could care less who owns Twitter. But I will say that if this is true, I hope he and his people take this very seriously because this is scary AF. So many damn unfit people saying hate speech is free speech," said James.
