    This was always going to happen.

    Muskrat bought twitter specifically to make it Parler, GAB, and Truth Social all rolled into one.

    Banning, shadow-banning, or purging any and all dissenting views or content that differs from the Far Right narrative on the sites is the norm.

        That too.

        All the Far Right Authoritarians are just giddy about it all.

      I can see several motives for him buying twitter.

      Get trump elected, Because:

      a) less taxes for the musky chodelet

      b) less pesky safety and labour regulation for tesla/spacex/neuralink

      c) drop support for Ukraine so he gets a shot at the rare minerals underneath it when russia has full control.

      He’s a useful idiot for trump and putin. Still not sure what the saudi angle is, though.
