Pretending politics is the only reason people turned on Elon is kinda hilarious. The dude has been behaving utterly unhinged.

All that aside, buying a social media platform for the express purpose of influencing elections is most likely not going to win you any favours.

The irony is that was going on before he bought Twitter. Stopping it may have been the reason he bought it.

We know Twitter at the behest of the US gov't censored the Hunter Biden laptop story but allowed speech that wrongly claimed it was "Russian disinformation". That could be considered election interference because it was a major scandal for the Democrats.

Twitter probably over censored the story. Considering all of the crazy demonstrably fake news surrounding this, I can see how handling this was probably difficult to get right.

If the right wing wants to stop getting over censored, maybe they should hold themselves a little more accountable to the mass amounts of fake news they share.

But again. Hunter Biden was not running for president. The right is still pushing fake news (Ohio) as part of their campaigns.
