Biz Stone, a co-founder of Twitter and angel investor, questioned Elon Musk's capacity to run a platform like Twitter and claimed that Musk had undone the changes he had made to the workplace atmosphere. He said that he feels that improvements to morale and content policies at the business have been reversed under its new proprietor, according to the Guardian.
In an interview with the Guardian, Biz Stone said positive changes he had helped oversee in recent years had been unwound by the Tesla chief executive. Mr. Stone said that running a social media platform is a tough job and it can never be a win-win situation. "50% of the people are going to be happy, and 50% of the people are going to be upset with you," he added.

Under the new criteria, which follow billionaire Elon Musk's purchase of the company in October, Twitter accounts will only be suspended for severe or ongoing and repeat violations of the platform's policies. Severe policy violations include engaging in illegal content or activity, inciting or threatening violence or harm, and engaging in targeted harassment of other users, among others.
