When Elon Musk took over Twitter in October last year, he restored new hope among conservative accounts, with many prominent influencers previously banned or suspended under Jack Dorsey being resurrected.
Not only that, Musk positioned himself as a somewhat conservative figurehead, a good guy within the elite ranks of big tech fighting for free speech, and “the little guy.”
The promise of renewed free speech on a prominent social media platform was music to everyone’s ears, including mine.
However, things have turned out differently than we expected or hoped for. In fact, the promise Musk said he would deliver on upholding the first amendment now appears to be in a retrograde flow.
In May, Musk hired World Economic Forum member (WEF) Linda Yaccarino as CEO of Twitter. Initially, many conservatives responded to the news with repudiation, but some held fire since she followed big conservative accounts, including Chaya Raichik, Jack Posobiec, Sidney Powell, Catturd, and Michael Shellenberger.
