Elon Musk's pending acquisition of Twitter has some wondering about the future of the platform and its cultural impact.
"If you don't know Black Twitter, it is probably not for you," said Stephanie Alston, CEO of Black Girl Group.
"We saw #MuteRKelly, which was the movement surrounding muting R&B singer R Kelly," Alston said."We've seen Black Lives Matter rallying together Black voices and even those who say they're allies in the Black community." "Whenever George Floyd was tragically murdered, and it went viral online, one thing that many companies did, was they said they stood with us, and so what did Black Twitter do?" Alston said."They held those people accountable."
And Tesla Inc., where Musk is CEO, is being sued by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing after receiving hundreds of complaints alleging segregation and discrimination.
