Have you ever thought for a second that you can’t trust the media? Or trust the word of a disgruntled employee who’s just trying to give a black eye to the employer who is about to let him/her go? It pretty funny watching the posts coming across this and other platforms thinking the world is ending because Elon comes out and says he’s going to make twitter balanced instead blatantly left leaning.

That balance is going great given Elon's recent content on Twitter /s.

"Blatantly left leaning" is a joke. My trans friends wouldn't receive constant drive by harassment if that were the case.

Twitter is very left leaning.

Again, why then do my trans friends experience regular drive-by harassment?

Because everyone gets harassed on the internet, and your one anecdotal experience does not mean that Twitter as a whole does not have a left leaning political bias.

But wouldn't a "blatantly left leaning" organization stop transphobic harassment?
