Maybe a naive take, but I think Elon Musk is a net positive for free speech and questioning government consensus.

All the stuff nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx predicts about Twitter is likely true, but I think it's complicated. The man is flailing about trying to monetize, and definitely has pressures on him from big banks (billionaires borrow against their assets in order to buy things) and the CCP (big Tesla market + supply chain). BUT, he's also a somewhat ideological and impulsive person who resents being told what to do. He amplifies non-consensus view points to a massive audience, and has probably been the catalyst for many to question the mainstream.

Definitely don't get a blue check, and even better keep off Twitter entirely if you can (use #nostr obviously). But the other big tech platforms are way worse, and Elon has significantly helped to counterbalance mainstream media on a few important ideas.
