Musk knows they're on the side of capital and that his gross amount of wealth is beloved by these quasi-fascists. The stifling of speech is concerning, but unsurprising.

@robertmackey We all should know Andy Ngo is working overtime snitching to Musk. Always with the battered wife role play, and not the instigator that he is.
@robertmackey sounds like doxxing to me, I guess you people allow doxxing here on the masto?
