X Is Becoming a Drag on the GOP

“When Elon Musk purchased Twitter in December 2022, conservatives celebrated with unmitigated jubilation. Twitter, which had engaged in systematic censorship and deplatforming, arm in arm with malicious actors in the intelligence community, presented a unique and unprecedented threat to American free speech and expression. … For conservatives incensed by Big Tech’s direct intervention in the American electoral process, Musk’s $44 billion Twitter acquisition felt like a long-overdue and much-needed victory. … Nearly three years later, however, despite great satisfaction with justice dealt and the restoration of unfairly censored voices, it’s difficult to argue that Elon Musk’s X has enhanced conservative — and by extension, American — discourse. Generally, there’s more evidence that conservative discourse has been fundamentally degraded.” (09/24/24)
