This comment hit the nail on the head. I feel like I played right into his hands. But what is a person to do?
remember the real reason he bought Twitter was to influence the 2024 election and stop any kind of leftist organizing on the site

Doubt many leftists use Twitter/X anymore anyway. Too much fascism and enshittification. Much better alternatives that are decentralized with the fediverse.
But that’s kinda the problem, isn’t it? They lost their platform. Sure, alternatives like Mastodon are cool in their own ways, but we lost a lot of reach. Twitter was utterly massive in terms of reach (and that’s why there’s some people on the left who still haven’t left it yet). At its peak, it had something like 400M monthly users. Mastodon has like 2.5M monthly users and Mastodon has been repeatedly criticized for being difficult to discover people, so who knows how many of those users you can reach even if you manage to get something to go viral.
