Is there something bad about that? People are free to choose where they discuss things, and whom they give their money. He is tearing down moderation, crapping on verification, and injecting itself on electoral politics. Any CEO of Social Media that peddles on weird conspiracies of Pelosi's husband, and then just today announce that vote for Republicans...
What did you expect? That people will take it as "That's just Elon"...
Only sad aspect of this is that BlueSky project that supposedly allowed to move followers between servers was not ready, and he might not be particularly interested on allowing it anymore, as everyone would just flee with their followers.

Indeed, he hasn't changed anything about moderation (except applying to to everyone universally) >crapping on verification By expanding it to anyone willing to pay instead of it being some exclusive club where people had to literally bribe twitter employees tens of thousands for the coveted blue check? Yup - he's totally going backwards! > and injecting itself on electoral politics. lol - Twitters whole reason to exist for the last six years was to be the amplifier for one particular political ideology. Burying the Hunter Biden laptop story wasn't an injection into electoral politics?!? How rich!
