For me, it had a lot to do with the name right from the start.

Grown men simply do not "tweet".

I get enough social media BS between Facebook and here.

And I have nothing against Musk being a purveyor of EVs.... If he can get rich selling a load of pie in the sky technology to Left Wing tree huggers.... More power to him.

It seems the only ads on Twitter these days are random items that used to be sold on late night television and that probably doesn't get a lot of ad revenue. Liberals don't have to support Twitter. Let that sink in!
He's probably right.

Then Musk will have nothing to complain about and can maintain his conservative echo chamber with the support of people like you, problem solved......

Liberals have nothing to do with it other then exercising their freedom to choose and they choose not to use Twitter...

"Does this mean the popularity of the app is waning?"
"Oh, no, not at all. It's just that its appeal is becoming more selective."

- to butcher a movie quote.

Kinda like conservatives have the right not to shop at Target or drink Bud Light. Politics isn't good for business it's best to stay neutral or else you take a hit to the bottom line.
Elon is neutral because he is not out there censoring leftists from practicing their free speech on his platform

That's a blanket statement.....I'm older and conservative and really like Twitter and am happy Musk has put an end to the censorship over there.
