We’ve watched in horrified fascination as the town square that was once the world’s collective pulse has gone up in flames

    Elon was simply following an article sent to him by a fascist explaining how to use Twitter to own the left and he did it. He followed the article to a T.

    This NBC article, which was quite a challenge to find, discusses this.

      It’s more X marks the spot than following to a T

        If we can hit that bull’s-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

      So, essentially try to force Xitter to the hard right, making it the social media equivalent of Faux News. Anyone with a little common sense will bail, leaving the echo chamber to ferment in its own toxic vapors. Now, if only a Smartmatic incident would occur.
