Offering a soapbox to extremists demonstrates a lack of focus
Why doesn’t anyone consider, given what he’s done with Twitter, that turning it into a soapbox to extremists was the whole point? He obviously is very sympathetic to far right ideology and sees himself as a warrior, a general even, of right wing culture wars.
Seems to me that Elon Musk and all his transphobic, anti democracy, pro Putin, MAGA fans want to turn the USA into an apartheid state like Musk’s home country.
It’s the only rational lens that makes sense. Anything else requires Musk to have been bamboozled, or to be an abject idiot. I’m willing to go along with the latter explanation, but I think it’s not the whole story.

Maybe so. Political propaganda is sure to alienate at least half the audience so a 50% drop in revenue makes perfect sense.
