Trump was evicted nearly two years ago, but a return to more innocent, less toxic times seems farther and farther away. Elon Musk is part of the problem.

Perhaps Musk is still mad he was forced to buy Twitter and now carrying on being the real vindictive little guy he always was. Just a guess. He made money under Trump. Maybe not so much under Biden. Bitter guy.

@StevenBeschloss I call BS. There were two years where the toxicity of both the left and the right could have died down, but both sides spent that time escalating the vitriol-soaked rhetoric on social media.
Musk isn't the cause - Musk is a symptom of the fact that people feel like they can say anything they like on the internet without the fear that someone will slap them for their audacity and lack of class.

@StevenBeschloss > 'I’m reluctant to leave Twitter—not only because of the people I’ve come to know, but because I can’t tolerate the idea of being driven out by the flood of haters. Let’s see what the future holds.'

Twitter survives on YOUR engagement. YOU legitimize it, just by being there. And we KNOW what the future holds, because we've seen this before. At best, you're now a mafia wife.

Set pointers in your profile, and only check back every three weeks, to maintain it as active.

Sadly this is correct. Elon Musk appears to be in the group of wealthy, anti-democratic ppl that dont want the US in their way any longer. Worse, is that I'm pretty sure bc of the list of names allowed back on twitter that are nazi's, or those ppl that are grifters, lending legitimacy to the lies...Glenn Greenwald and the like. Hes working to make twitter be like 8chan. Instead of hundreds of thousands to radicalize, he now has hundreds of millions.

@StevenBeschloss Musk promotes hatred and lies. For someone who knows about apartheid, seems extremely eager to see this sort of political system in the U.S. Musk appears to have enjoyed the apartheid system in South Africa. Search your soul mr Elon, you may be able to see everyone belongs to one race, the human race. Money cannot buy honestly and integrity. Stop spreading lies and misinformation.
