I don't understand why people keep acting like Musk made Twitter a place of freedom. He told us in the beginning that we'd have freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Some of us have been so throttled since he came onboard that it's become unusable.

Plus, remember the elonjet drama he started and the people he threw off then (not to mention the fact that he lied about what happened)? Remember the #faucifiles carrot he dangled in front of people to get them more and more committed to his new Twitter? Remember his response to Matt Taibbi daring to post his Twitter Notes findings on Substack and what he subsequently did to all Substack links (even if for only 24 hours)?

This man has never cared about giving us a free platform to speak. It is a weapon he's wielding to win over the conservative base so that when he finishes the transformation of Twitter into the X surveillance and digital ID app, they'll all be onboard. Yaccarino isn't some talented advertising exec he wisely put into place. She's another WEF acolyte who is here to transform Twitter.
