**About Twitter **

Twitter started with great intentions but faced challenges as it evolved, especially when philosophical questions around speech and societal responsibility were overlooked. The company's leadership shifted towards preparing for the IPO, neglecting reflection on crucial issues like the impact of free speech and platform weaponization. While Jack, the CEO, was late in addressing these concerns, there is a sense that he cares about the platform's impact. The platform struggled with issues like the presence of Nazis, abuse scenarios, and misinformation. The evolving cultural mindset questions the true cost of success and emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the societal implications of one's work. This cultural shift is leading more individuals to work towards meaningful solutions, such as addressing climate change. Despite starting with good intentions, Twitter faced challenges as it quickly evolved and was recognized as being weaponized, prompting a need for change and reflection.
