Right, I get that, but the article is heavily weighted towards examples of Elon Musk and the Republicans colluding to shape specifically the feed on Twitter. I agree that it's bad that's happened (in the sense of Twitter is now a much less credible platform as a result), but, again, if you're talking about destabilizing entire democracies you have to account for the fact that Musk has direct influence only over a social network very few people pay attention to.
