It's classic authoritarianism. Dear Leader's (or the movement's) undertakings can never be misguided or incorrect, and if they fail then it can only be due to sabotage by traitorous workers seeking to destroy it from within.

I'm still reveling in the fact that Musk was forced to buy Twotter. I remember all these Tesla stock bros and conservatives making these detailed convoluted arguments about how he can legally just walk away. And after he was forced to buy, they shifted into just loooooving Twitter and claiming that it was such a big brain move to buy it.

Elon is now claiming that his tweets are so popular they've been causing system performance issues and that people with big block lists are not only contributing to it but are being used to maliciously reduce the visibility of right-wing shitbags.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

You really do get the sense now that everything he tweets is mainly for the sake of his right wing buddies seeing it and it really doesn't matter who else sees them or not or if anybody else even knows what the gently caress he's talking about. Instead of just having a private chat with them on discord or some other private chat app though it's all just blasted out on twitter cause he wants to show the world what a totally great platform it is at any given time of the day even if his thoughts and assertions aren't meant for the meager masses that cannot comprehend the minds of catturd2 and Ian Miles Cheong

Because it isn't about chatting with like-minded folks.

I don't think it's even about proving Twitter is so great.

It's about cramming their lovely views and ideas in your face one way or another. They're at such a fever pitch with their half-baked concept of "free speech" that there's chatter in Elon's replies about emptying everyone's block list and disabling blocking.

Hell, I'm at a point where I'm pretty sure it'd be easy to get one of them to argue that locking your home is immoral censorship in the off chance some chud wants to barge in and proselytize.
