I can't be convinced that this whole situation isn't just a group of tyrannical regimes and finance heavies clubbing together to bury Twitter (often used as a co-ordination place against their interests) and are simply using Musk as a front man because they have leverage over him. Or maybe the worlds greatest genius just got in a dick waving contest with himself and lost.

It's an attack on progressives. That's how I've been viewing all of this. I can believe Zuckerberg is not a fan of Musks handling because Z tried to keep his users but manipulate their beliefs via targeted political posts (and this worked to some degree). Musk screwed the pooch and is just kicking out his users, which doesn't disempower them, it just makes them look elsewhere.
