> really? thousands of people just left twitter at the idea of Musk owning it I know a fair few people said they would, for a few different reasons. Particularly as, given the size of the user-base to start with, “thousands” is a pretty small number. > and thousands joined out of love for Musk? More likely because of the “freedom of speech” promises that were being made. I'd wager that many right leaning people who had previously left (or not joined in the first place) over certain other people being kicked, off are quite enamoured by the idea that their brand of rhetoric might be less unwelcome there in future. The converse (wanting that sort of talk to continue to be frowned upon) is one of the reasons some others talked about leaving. Certain messaging is key, not Musk specifically (although it was him giving off those messages).
