He's now explicitly pledging to "fix" Community Notes after even the remaining right-leaning userbase of his website corrected his lies too many times, just like he tried (with limited success) to "fix" Grok because it was too woke.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
