Perhaps it was the weird hyperbole about democracy his comment was targeting?
Yeah, but everyone who does use Twitter will see it. The place is going down in flames - no matter what you write, you'll get likes from a "<firstname><bunchofnumbers>" bots, and replies such as "P U S S Y I N B I O" in a matter of seconds.
Allow the right to have opinions and speak their minds just like the left does? No! They’re dangerous, so we should silence them. Okay, so let’s just silence half of the American population. That’ll do it. Democracy.
Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, so let’s do the most pro-democracy thing by using the law and the justice system to persecute him, even though he’s leading in the polls as Biden’s opponent. You know, the same type of behavior we usually lecture other nations about (e.g., Russia), because we consider them undemocratic. Totally the pro-democracy move right there.
The most fascinating one for me was Colorado’s attempt at disenfranchising their Republican constituents in order to “save democracy” [0]. Truly incredible and democratic stuff.
The worst part is, the irony of it all completely escapes them.

To me, there has been no significant change, aside from hearing more people on the left bemoan that Elon is giving "dangerous" people on the right a platform.
But I honestly don't see an actual difference aside from people saying there is one.
