The New York Times found three users on X who feuded with Mr. Musk in December only to see their reach on the social platform practically vanish overnight.

What's (not) funny is that the NYT profiles only far-right influencers in this piece, all of whom seem to have been censored because they're slightly more racist than Musk and personally criticized his visa proposals.

This is why it's safe to say that any journalists, media outlets, politicians and celebrities who are still on Twitter are willing to sell out and cannot be trusted to help fight the growing fascism. They're willing to play by Elon's rules in return for access to his audience, skewed as it may be.

It's the folly of thinking oneself as being a great orator.

You don't blow the GDP of a small country to buy a media platform for no reason.

Yup, the person the graph is about is a right wing conspiracy theorist, but that still isn’t enough if you upset Musk.

And these guys are to Musk's RIGHT! These are the guys he's MORE likely to agree with!

I never really realized the value of having a feed that's completely in your control until I started spending more time on here. It also prevents stuff like this.

It's just so frustrating that some really big things are still just on X. If you want to see the last tweet from the pope, it will be on X etc. I wish the tide would move faster away from that wretched platform.

Considering how unpopular musk has become despite muting his critics on x goes to show how much influence twitter has lost.
