To be honest I think it's fluff a piece to keep twitter in the spotlight and to drive user engagement. If they really had something new or better said something that wasn't known before they would release it in a more professional and descriptive manner.

It’s absolutely a fluff piece. I had blocked Elon before he took power, after filling multiple pages with instances where the staff had quite visibly leaked things like DMs or private lists they had no cause to share. Twitter is run by folks who claim to support free expression but actually just want to spread hate - if you come at them with a tenth of the energy they put out, they melt down and ban your account. I very purposefully stopped giving a damn about avoiding suspension when it became clear I’d never get the same respect as pedophiles, fascists, and tax cheats. (I’m completely serious- it was explicitly allowed to use Twitter to say all those things were ok, and I had persistent retaliation for expressing the opposite opinion during my decade ish on The Website.)

  Is this accurate though? I get a lot of Elon hate, and woke crowd stuff in my twitter feed. Now it's mixed with the Elon-crowd as well with a differing view. So right now there seems to be a good mix (not necessarily a healthy mix though, since so much content on Twitter is toxic).

    I had to block Elon prior to being suspended from Twitter, which declined to roll out end to end encryption per my request to avoid having my data end up in the hands of somone like Elon Musk. Why wouldn't I "hate" someone who repeatedly violates my boundaries, and doesn't even to have the common decency to use a zero day instead of just throwing money at the problem?
