      The first thing Musk did when he took over is un-ban many of those people. He’s since repeatedly banned progressive journalists, added the word “cis” to the hate speech filters, and made numerous other changes to the way the site operates to boost those voices and suppress opposing ones.

      He’s not the only one to blame, to be sure, but if you think he hasn’t been spearheading the effort, you haven’t been paying attention. He’s been backing them and a whole lot more.
