Look, free country, he owns the company, he can do and say what he wants, he can endorse whoever he wants. And I’m fine with all that. But what’s funny is thinking about how the right would be freaking out if prior Twitter ownership had openly encouraged users to vote Democrat. https://t.co/B9wkJ6ez2X

Turns out firing half your staff has consequences. Newspaper's Twitter account hacked and they can't reach anyone at Twitter. https://t.co/0i1UrHFdMn

To recap: @elonmusk shared a homophobic conspiracy theory about the beating of the Democratic House Speaker's husband. Now he's using this site to call for putting Republicans back in office this soon after Jan. 6. But I'm supposed to believe this is just about free speech.

MTG hasn’t moved a bit since she was stripped of her committees. The Republican Party came to her. https://t.co/8QtagdZWrj

Just come out as Republican already. This "I'm a moderate but constantly reply-guy maga accounts" is getting tiresome.

Republicans will do to democracy what Elon did to Twitter. https://t.co/ynwyzV4W75

He's tanking the site, he's drowning in debt, he's a huge fucking baby, and he reads his mentions.

And people were worried that Elon Musk would secretly use twitter to help Republicans, here he is just doing it publicly, I hope everyone feels silly about being concerned.

Really, the mass impersonation of Musk by verified accounts was a magnificent satirical art project that achieved its purpose: demonstrating Musk's hypocrisy, the impossibility of speech absolutism, *and* the utter foolishness of the Twitter Blue revamp.
