Twitter exposed no corruption, just the same worn-out conspiracy theories Fox News has been peddling for some time now. Users have seen the writing on the wall and realizing what the new Twitter is - a Fox News social media outlet. So they're abandoning the platform as a result. As the users leave then so are the advertisers. That's just how the advertising business works.

Twitter under Musk complies with more government demands than it did previously [0]. It was a Republican governing party making the requests prior to Musk taking over. How do these facts fit with your preconceptions?

Some people are getting to see how authoritarians work in real time.
Authoritarian: "The people I don't like are stomping on babies!"
Unliked group: "Hold up, we actually have video of you baby stomping"
Auth: "See, see, see, I told you they were going to make stuff up and accuse me of being the bad guy, this is evidence they are bad"
Middle Ground Guy: "Well, I guess both sides are bad"

OP was obviously talking about partisan requests from the US government to ban right wing accounts. You cited some article completely unrelated to his comment but of course you already knew that. "Errrmmm fact check!". You Elon/Twitter haters are so unbearable bro lmao

If you're referring to the "Twitter Files," Twitter's own lawyers just admitted that it was all just a viral marketing campaign and didn't actually show any evidence of wrongdoing[0].
It was all smoke and mirrors bullshit, like Hunter Biden's briefcase, like the "treason" hidden within the DNC hacks, like Pizzagate, like the Benghazi hearings.

Our government officials were actively banning both citizens and opposing political opponents they didn't like, which is a real threat to democracy.
If the Republicans were caught doing this it would be J6 style hearings.
