Actually, I have no doubt some are doing that, but from my twitter perspective, most are actually doing it because they expect twitter to end or, otherwise, become unusable or be abandoned by too many others. Many aren't moving to Mastodon so much as creating accounts there just in case — then continuing to use twitter for the moment.
Musk's acquisition is absolutely fuelling this, but the cause for movement is less ideological and more pragmatic, IME.
