Available for over a year

It is the moment nobody was quite sure would actually happen. After months of drama, Elon Musk says his $44bn deal to buy Twitter is complete. The world's richest man now owns one of the biggest social media platforms. In the past, Elon Musk has described himself as a 'free speech absolutist', and has suggested he might use Twitter as the foundation to create a super-app he calls X. But there's still a lot we don't know about what he has planned. So how did we get here, and what might happen next? For 5 Questions On, the BBC's Technology Editor Zoe Kleinman explains what Elon Musk's Twitter might look like. Image credit: Dado Ruvic, Reuters
