Nah, considering he's let Jordan Peterson back on, and apparently is considering Trump - I think Elon is just a right winger who realized he was surrounded by lefties (apparently Twitter graded managers on empathy? Lots of pronouns on profiles, etc. not saying that's a bad or a good thing) and decided to dump them all.
Basically Elon is a soft Republican/Trump supporter who is like "Trump didn't do anything wrong" and intends to make the platform a free for all.
It makes sense with a lot of his statements as well. Why obsess over the blue ticks? Cause the right wing was upset about it. Why obsess over freedom of speech? Because the right wing said they were being removed en masse from platforms. etc. etc.
There was a great twitter thread explaining all this that I read today, but for the life of me cant find it.
Ah found it here - https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1593474503996280833 https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1593474503996280833
all the why Elon Musk bought Twitter theories are overthinking it.
it’s simple.
Musk is in a right wing filter bubble. he bought Twitter believing their problems were real & that others felt the same
