Twitter Inc.'s new chief Elon Musk congratulated the team on bringing the "hate speech impressions" down — but is there more to it than meets the eye?
What Happened: Musk shared a screengrab on Twitter, saying that hate speech impressions were significantly lower from pre-spike levels.
Tech tweeter Jane Manchun Wong, however, tweeted that though there's a drop, "it's back at the end."
Another user refuted Musk's statement by sharing a research report.
