You must understand that twitter is rewarding views/conversation to 'creators' via subscription. You must have noticed an uptick of blue tick accounts who drivel lame information but packed to stroke a conversation. This way they get payouts from twitter creator program due to engagement and impressions.
The blue tick also puts them on top of conversations; this is now used by Russians to create divisions in democracies with paid and useful idiot(s) accounts. For Elon, who is living in a selfish bubble, that is free speech and he keeps reposting conspiracy theorist.
In short, the whole platform is going to the gutter. Being a champion of the Internet from the late 90's, I can't believe where we are at now and how non-scientific fervor has grabbed every aspect of discourse (anti vax, flat earth, soros/gates, Q/Pizza/MAGA, etc).
