This isn’t really true though, the left has always been concerned that social media censors them, and why wouldn’t you be? Speech is power, and the left is all about promoting their own ideas(not uniquely so, just pointing it out). in fact the left often thinks that even before Musk, social media companies have leaned right. This idea that the left loves social media companies is a right wing narrative. We can talk about whether or not it is true that social media has a left/right wing bias; I’m not necessarily saying that the left doesn’t think social media should do more to fight hate speech (which may disproportionately impact conservatives) but painting the left as loving social media before Musk is just fantasy.
