Regardless of which party you support, there is a clear problem with an activist billionaire having complete control over a major media platform. And to all the people who said this was never going to happen when Elon took over Twitter, you should have known better.
Certainly the Twitter board and CEOs had political biases. But they didn't have the control over the network and were ultimately accountable to public shareholders, and even to the Twitter userbase themselves (pissing off a great deal of them is bad business). Elon is accountable to no one, and he has enough $$$ that he can piss off anyone he likes.
X is now Fox 2.0.
As for the politics, I don't disagree so much with Republicans as I do with Trump. He supported an attempt to violently overturn a democratic election, something that only happens in, to use Trump's words, "shithole" countries. That for me ends the discussion right there -- no need to debate the merits of either candidate.
It just shows how far off the path of democracy the USA has fallen, and Musk along with it. He's just another wanna-be dictator now.
