This is dumb as fuck. There's so many things to make fun of Musk for and you need to resort to Godwinning? That's not only unfunny but it reduces that validity of your complaints against the guy who deserves to be flamed because your hyperbolic shouting and claiming everybody you disagree with is a nazi discredits your position immediately.
Yeah, Musk sucks. Yeah the X is dumb. Did it need to be photoshopped into a Nazi flag to be described as dumb? Nope, the entire rest of the site has been hating on this guy without needlessly Godwinning.
It is known by now that Musk sympathizes with many alt-right figures and actively uses his position to censor people on Twitter.
I would not agree that Twitter has become some nazi site, but it can be clearly seen that nazi ideas are more welcome now than before the whole Musk takeover.
Twitter was always a cesspool, and regardless of if the majority of opinions are left or right leaning, it's a toxic environment no matter who is at the head of the hydra.
Prior to the Musk takeover it was a leftist echo chamber, and there was all kinds of witch hunting and cancellations based on groupthink.
I don't think either extremes should be given a platform, and all I see on Twitter is that Musk leveled the playing field so that both sides get to shout as much vitriol as they want.
Correct.
Correct.

See and now you just compared dumb liberals calling for cancel culture comparative to right-wing radicals calling openly for murder and worse. "Either extremes"? What an enlightened centrist you are good sir.
