That was the plan. Destroy the public square. Destroy people's ability to communicate without corporate mediation. A (imperfectly) neutral conversational space became Elon's personal amplification platform overnight. He 'deregulated' it for his own divisive political interests. A preview of the Trumpism he openly supports.
I feel we are absolute fools for letting this happen, but it aligns with the interests of the late American Empire oligarchy, so what can do.
Elon bought the information space so he could trash it.
