UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has some doubts over the changes that have happened on Twitter since Elon Musk bought the company
Elon Musk shocked the world when he made a whopping $43 billion bid to buy out Twitter. The founder, CEO and chief engineer at SpaceX has been an advocate of free speech, and seriously condemns censorship.
This news has the world divided given the polarizing figure Elon Musk has been. On hand, we have the die-hard supporters who believe the acquisition would only make Twitter a cathedral of free speech.

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has emerged as one of the biggest superstars of the game today. Besides being a master inside the cage, he has penetrated pop culture by representing his roots with pride and anime references. He raised an important question over this new chapter by saying, ‘Anything changed since @elonmusk bought Twitter? Show me something…’
