i think a lot of conservaties saw that jack dorsey's reign of terror was coming to an end and were excited that some other retard was taking charge of the website that had some kind of goal for the platform even if it was just ego. Dorsey's twitter sucked and in his interviews there was an obvious sense of shame about people he disagreed with existing on his website, something elon at least understands and isn't afraid of utilizing to his benefit. dorsey was flat out trying to kill twitter. i mean, twitter sucks, but at the same time now you have a competition between two guys, one who's trying to destroy the thing, and one who's trying to build it into a better thing. i'm always gonna be on the side of the latterElon bought Xitter for the same reason Bezos bought the Washington Post. He wanted a soundboard where he could promote his ideas and silence people whose ideas he disliked. This is great in both cases if you happen to agree with them on one issue or another, but in the end they're working for their own best interests, not yours.
the honeymoon period has worn off and people are starting to realize elon is a manipulative little shit but at the same time the current state of affairs only happened because the website was in fact that fucking bad, like 40% of the userbase was shadowbanned by a algorithm they that flat out denied existed so people had to make third party tools to check if you were shadowbanned. for years they secretly prevented anyone who ever made a tweet with words like "fag" or "nigger" from making publicly visible posts and they didn't even tell you this feature existed.
elon is an annoying faggot but jack dorsey deserved public execution for his behavior
