I'm not a big fan of Musk either outside of Tesla/SpaceX/StarLink.
But if it's not Musk, it's the DNC, if it's not the DNC, it's someone else. I don't see how it detracts from X still being a good platform. You have to curate your TL, yes -- but you've always had to do that!
Not 1984 but just standard 20th century type dangerous cult of personality with one person having way too much power.
