"so long as you [ie, politicians] use X as your main outlet for news updates, you are dragging us along with you."

If EU politicians left X, journalists and the general public would thank them "for giving us one more reason to get off X ourselves"

Why EU leaders should get off Musk's X

Leaders should ask themselves - is X really what I want my brand to be associated with?

@andrewstroehlein Honestly, if we want politicians to stop using X then it's up to the journalist to stop using X or linking to X or posting that a politician responded via X.

Politicians follow where the message gets out; if X is no longer quoted or a politician's message from X isn't in a news report than they will see it nomlonger serves them and will stop using it.
