It already was prior to Musk’s takeover.

It's crazy how media pretends Twitter wasn't the biggest contributor to Trump's MAGA movement, being the most followed user on the site up until his fanatic followers stormed the US capitol. I mean did people already forget these dreadful years of "Trump tweeted" headlines every single day??? Twitter has been an enemy to democracy for many years.

I don't know how you can say that was anti-democratic, though.
That level of open and direct communication from the sitting president is very democratic. Say what you will about the content of that communication, but Twitter did not act undemocratically by allowing the president to speak freely...
