This comment hit the nail on the head. I feel like I played right into his hands. But what is a person to do?

remember the real reason he bought Twitter was to influence the 2024 election and stop any kind of leftist organizing on the site

Im still on the conspiracy train of him buying Twitter after meeting with Putin to weaken Ukraine support.

But Republicans are also working for Putin so they might be one and the same motivation.

I thought it was the Saudis or similar nations that helped him fund the purchase. I saw speculation that they'd want him to torpedo the site to stop dissenters from organizing. Very much a conspiracy theory but Musk has been slowly destroying the site through bad moves instead of trying to take it offline from day 1, which makes more sense if this is what they wanted: destruction of the site.
