Ultimately, it will prove impossible to beat Elon Musk by remaining on the platform he controls.
He and his goons control the most powerful aspects of the site. They can, and will, use it to empower authoritarianism, hate, misinformation and white supremacy.
They are just getting started. By continuing to operate within the framework they control, you will be at a disadvantage. More at FrameLab:

Yes!!!!
Twitter is not physical space that can be fought over.
It is virtual space. Musk can boost/hide your tweets at will. He can control what you see. He can disappear you from the site. There 👏 is 👏 no 👏 fighting. 👏Just 👏 leave 👏
The sooner you move, the sooner the network effect at safer sites.

100% yes!
As soon as he started unbanning white supremacists and blocking journalists, there was no doubt. It's not speech, range of view or profitability. It's propaganda he wants.
#TwitterMigration is inevitable.

Then inevitably Twitter will become nothing more than a "Truth" Social or Parler. Neither are all that profitable, are they?
It's unfortunate, though, that reporters are still legitimizing Twitter by quoting influencers' tweets in their articles. #StarveTheBeast #TwitterTwatter
