This comes as no surprise really. I noticed a marked increase in right wing insanity after Elon took over.
That was always the point. He tried to shame Twitter into giving the far-right a credible platform and in the process, accidentally comitted to buying the site.
Everything else has just been him awkwardly trying to minimise his financial losses and hide that he's actually a dumbfuck.
Wrestle with pigs, get covered in shit, or something like that.
And no one but Musk is the least bit surprised by the catastrophic failure of Twitter.
He wanted free speech with no censorship. I get it, but he also wants to make a profit. So this is was happens, I hope him and the almighty shareholders are ok with it.

But but but there were good people on both sides Disney!
Does anybody else have a feeling like it’s a New Coke situation?
Drive it into the ground, then a year later come back with a shadow CEO and say “We’re back and better than ever”…profit.
How is that supposed to work?
Nope. I think it's a "billionaire who isn't half as smart as he thinks" situation. It's his shoddily built submarine, ready to fail catastrophically at any moment.
After all, has "New Coke" ever worked for a website? Once those users have found somewhere else, they're never coming back.
