It's nothing but trolls and bots.

8. AP says that Xhitter is still a go-to media platform for Democrats.

Despite Musk’s Trump endorsement, X remains a go-to platform for Democrats

It’s a testament to how ingrained the platform has become among the power players of the political and media world, as well as users looking for news and live updates of major events. While Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, along with TikTok, boast far more users, X users say keeping up with the news is not the reason they use those platforms, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center. X is the exception: most of the site’s users say following the news is a reason they use it and about half say they regularly get their news from there.

Apparently, some people (way too many people) still trust it as a source of news.

the post mostly lost me when the letter went to Gym Jordan. It's a letter asking for fairness. I imagine Jordan threw it out.

5. I just got banned from an Elon musk subreddit for saying, ""god damn this dude is creepy." Maybe inarticulate but not

inaccurate. Every story that comes out about this loony man-baby is worse than the last one. Born to money, thinks money makes him smart. Clearly not.

But, as we mention all too often here, it's not the govenment that's restricting her right on Xitter. It's (probably) a management edict (of a private company). Who, just as DU can limit speech to that supporting the Presidential nominee, so can they limit their postings.
I agree Xitter has a lot more idiot eyeballs that might learn something by being exposed to a principled campaign, but, for the most part, we know they are lost causes, so not much to worry about.

7. It does publicize what Musk did, and contradicts the right wing narative that X is fair under Musk.

So it does serve a purpose, even if it will not result in a remedy.
