Marc Zuckerberg: "I notice Elon has become much more popular than I am. Elon also owns an internet social platform. Elon has removed most of the censorship from his platform. Maybe if I do the same I will be popular again too?"
What he's done is loudly proclaim to be removing censorship, while also removing censorship from the group that most loudly complains about censorship (which he also belongs to), and increasing censorship on their enemies, who are not so loud.

How on earth can you say that if you were alive during the pandemic?
> remove censorship
> Left suddenly don't have a stranglehold on culture.
Hmmm
Also what "Left stranglehold on culture" are you speaking of?? Workers have been losing rights in this country for decades. You clearly bought into the lies.
Here it is in the same format you did:
> Removes facts
> The right suddenly gets a stranglehold on culture
Hmmm
Do you believe in your own ahistorical view of the world?

I have an X account that I only use to access tweets friends send me occasionally. Whenever I go there, my "for you" page is filled with Elon Musk, Alex Jones, libs of TikTok, etc. Not a single remotely left-leaning account in sight.
If you don't believe me, try it. Create a new account and see for yourself.
Try this experiment. Make two posts. One with the word “cisgender” and the other with the N-word and see how balanced the platform treats you.
The former will mute your post for using a slur (?) but somehow the latter is allowed without any moderation at all (!).
Such balance. Musk has made no attempt to hide his thumb on the scale in silencing things he disagrees with.
I doubt he cares about popularity, but he very much cares about his stock price and the things it lets him do.
