    Why would they?

    Elon hasn’t stopped people from posting anticapitalist statuses, or silenced journalists.

    Even if that’s the ultimate plan, it would be billions spent to momentarily interrupt one segment of social media and just lead people to alternatives like mastodon that are more resistant to corporate control and censorship.

      He hasn’t stopped a lot of folks, including all the shitty ones that would normally be banned. Hell, he unbanned them in many cases (i.e. Trump.) With Blue he gave them a way to be all the top responses in comments no matter how shitty their take is. Making the feed useless can be just as bad (if not worse) then censoring it.
