I think Musk doesn't like activists of a certain bent, and he's made moves that are damaging Twitter to disenfranchise those groups in particular.
Maybe the net outcome is good, maybe not. I think it's hard to achieve that type of outrage (both good and bad) without these massive social media sites. So we might get less toxic social media, but reduce our ability to effect change through social justice.
Musk literally just started bribing right wing activist accounts with Twitter cash. He is absolutely not wanting to disenfranchise activists, he's wanting to target them at people he doesn't like.
Isn't the most prominent person posting about that money one of the Krassensteins? They are probably right wing by world standards but in the US they are big time Democrats and got famous in Trump's replies saying "how dare you sir".
