Why is the word “accidentally” used when this is a feature that was implemented with this particular reason in mind?

Given Musk's political affiliations, it seems unlikely that this was the intended outcome.

Musk's affiliation is power and whomever will give him more money. This is a tactic he has revealed. Don't go along with him? He will expose your propaganda network. Or maybe he will enable a way to change it for money. Musk isn't loyal to anyone but himself.
