Musk will either wise up and abandon rigid libertarianism or he will drive Twitter into the ground in a Race to the Bottom as it become more indwelled by deplorables and nut jobs and less even visited by decent people.
A race because tRump has unTruth Social, Kanye West wants or will have Parler, and Musk has Twitter.
They are competitors now. Hence the Race, but it's not a healthy race.
They are competitors. Musk going to make Twitter as junky &successful (not) as unTruth Social

I am positive there is a liberal progressive majority in America and that that majority sees through tRump completely.
But call it 50% of the population. The other 50% -- conned, CONservative, RepubliCON, conners -- is split, about 40% (20% of total) go along with tRump because they are conned or are Right Wing Authoritarian Followers. The hard core 30% of the population, about 60% of RepubliCons, the true believers, is split in half. The bottom half will live their lives always believing tRump tried to "take back America for us".
Even the top half of the true believers will soon realize that ...
. . . If there is so much fault and it never is tRump's fault, then it always is tRump's fault.
It's always "lying media, the crooked FBI, the rotten election watchers, the 'Kenyan' usurper, the bribed legislators, the lying former tRump Org officers, the Democrats, the illegals, the antifa, the covfefe boy, ...".
When it's always the other guy's fault, there is a pattern.
Two or three misfortunes, ... okay, maybe the other guys' faults.
But when there are handfuls of credible accusations of crimes and hundreds of credible accusations of shady or corrupted dealings, and it is never ever tRump's fault, ... there is a pattern that all but the dullest 15% of Americans will see.
When it is never tRump's fault on so much fault, then it always is tRump's fault

The whole CONservative enterprise and edifice these days is riddled with CON men and CON women, suckers, and sheep. Especially suckers.
The CONs got CONned. I'm not surprised.
They repeatedly CON CONservatives. Example in point: tRump's "Wall" that Mexico was supposed to pay for and that Steve Bannon may go to prison for.

CONservatives are the most likely to be CONned. Their followers overrun with suckers
