This is more rhetoric driven by a personal dislike of someone vs. reality.

> Twitter dropped in value to just 25% of what it was.

It's a private company. You don't know the value.

> Racism and naziism are rampant, endless stream of bots pushing propaganda or porn

Maybe on your feed? Statistically, no.

> and has any advertiser actually come back?

Who knows. It's still running after firing anyone: that's the point.

Tesla was the first and still the only electric car player that matters.

Same with SpaceX and space.

Again: you can dislike Elon's personality or politics, but trying to attack his results is ridiculous.

Fidelity cut the valuation of its stake at Twitter by 72% [1].

Elmo himself unbanned the prominent whitesuppremacist and neonazi “Nick Fuentes”.[2]

Hate-speech has increased significantly [3], and of course the lying and hypocritical self-proclaimed stalwart of free speech threatens to silence researchers documenting this [4].

Of course these are not the only instances of Elon’s grotesque behaviour.

For example, the pathetic little boy thinks “cis” is an insult and had that coded into the platform. His platform has tons of documented cases where the platform selectively hides speech deemed against the in-groups he favours.

His platform also pushes the visibility of neonazis, bigots and white suprematists like catturd. He keeps inserting his worthless little tweets into my feed despite me blocking and muting him.

Kindly, stop licking the boot.

Apparently you're still using X, despite loathing it?
Not really. News about all these come up on Reddit. I might open it once in a blue moon or if somebody sends me over there to read something supposedly interesting.
I love the fact that the comment with references is negative. Keep it classy HN.
