Frankly, Musk's attention is so short and fleeting compared to the censorship engine that existed before. It's more personal and self enriching than party lines.

It's a net win over the previous government censorship and blue check system.

All this says to me is that you're happy the editorializing is going in a different direction now.

You misunderstand me. Objectivity is mostly fiction. I'm am happy that there is more variety in the viewpoint bias of one major platform. Not that I subscribe to Musk's personal brand. I disagree with him in many places. I'd hope for a few more major brands that depart from being plugged into the government censorship platform.
