Remember when all the conspiracy theorists were cheering elons take over of twitter because it meant free speech? I do. Also remember how pretty much none of them is complaining about his control of the platform now. It's almost like they never really cared about free speech in the first place, but only their own.
Conspiracy theorists? I was looking forward to the changes he said he was going to make but how does that make me a conspiracy theorist now?
EDIT: I'd love to read the logs for why I'm getting downvoted for. This is one damn hateful group of people lol
Oh, I'm sorry, I should have been clear that people getting fooled by him was not limited to conspiracy theorists. It's just who I heard it the most from where there was some conspiracy among big tech to silence dissenting opinions and he would save us from it.
Me too, the Facebook files were a big deal in the first few weeks after his takeover too (once the overwhelming news about layoffs and brain drain subsided).
