This is just my thought but I think you are overestimating the intersection of people who truly care about culture war stuff and the "deeply experienced" engineering community that values gaining the skill and experience to be able to build something like Twitter. When that engineer explained the RPC calls to Musk the other day the replies were very telling in the sense that people who spend their time talking about how "freedom is back at Twitter" or how the employees are getting their comeuppance don't seem to really internalize how much effort is required to build and maintain these services. Maybe there is a cadre of conservative freedom loving experienced techies hiding in the shadows but I haven't seen them. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I watched the whole Parler collapse saga caused by a lack of mastery and experience in their chosen technologies and it really instilled in me the idea of appreciating the drive of learning and open mindedness. The conservative movement seems to have a disdain for deep learning of a specific field. They are setting themselves up to be left behind in the tech revolution.
