Private ideas are now publicly expressed and reinforced on social media sites like X, frequently to the delight of viewers who eagerly follow these online conflicts as they develop.
These encounters present both a risk and an opportunity for famous figures, enabling them to instantly mold their public identities.
This pattern highlights social media’s changing function as a forum for the open discussion of personal, political, and cultural problems.
Now, what would have been a private argument is done in front of millions of people, with each tweet being examined, analyzed, and discussed.
These interactions run the risk of oversimplifying difficult subjects into soundbites, even though they can humanize celebrities by showcasing their unvarnished sides.
