Twitter to destroy Democratic interconnectedness and discussion with left and Center voters. They knew after Rupert Murdoch and MySpace failure (but you cn't say that) that liberals could destroy a website that was suddenly owned by a right winger in months. I think Musk is just a useful idiot to the powers that be in the GOP.

Calling him "Elmo" is an insult to that cute, furry, red creature. "Stinky Anal Secretions" is also acceptable.

when he badly needs to raise Twitter profits, and imagining he’s so clever in blaming it on sinister leftist groups. to his pretense that he can sue free speech. He should just get right out there and call them antifa, socialists, Illuminati, Jews.

Wonder if his brilliant strategy involves pivoting after the election to wooing the quality users his behavior is pushing toward abandoning Twitter. He’d better. The strategy of trying to harness the mindless factional idiocy that works so well for tRump is backfiring badly with them.
