“[Musk]is censoring speech that he doesn’t like and amplifying speech that he does and he’s picking the people that he wants to have a voice on the platform and silencing others,” Rathbone DeBuys, a content creator in New Orleans https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/13/twitter-creators-payments-right-wing/
Far-right Twitter influencers first on Elon Musk’s monetization scheme

The first beneficiaries appear to be high-profile influencers like Andrew Tate, DC Draino, Ian Miles Cheong, Benny Johnson and Ashley St. Clair.

@LP95 @taylorlorenz He and his backers don't care if it goes bankrupt. All they care about is amplifying fascist ideology.

@InorganicFella @taylorlorenz there are ways to amplify facism that don’t involve setting $30 billion on fire. Musk wants to make profit in this, he’s just failing badly at it. And the banks are just there about the money.

@LP95 @taylorlorenz I would agree but it isn't only banks. Foreign interests not aligned with democracy apparently have a stake in this.
