I think to me it's the combination of the "voter turnout stuff" and his personality cult.

you mean fraud

> providing a social media platform that doesn’t suppress conservative viewpoints

Now amplifies ONLY them, which if you were claiming to be an impartial champion of free speech (as Musk repeatedly said) is equally as bullshit as what was happening on the platform before.

Instead, this bastion of free speech now considers "cisgender" a slur.


Musk in 2022: "Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic"

In 2024:


He has a social media platform now that actively suppresses liberal viewpoints, so he’s a complete hypocrite.

He’s happy to censor some things, but complains about free speech when things he likes, you know, like racist hate speech, is censored.


You have zero evidence of that.

More likely you’re just used to suppression of everyone right of you, and when that was taken away you think it’s unfair.


Yeah, I'll worry about him suppressing liberals when he bans the onion for making a joke.

Until then, I'll call it an improvement.
