"Twitter’s starting to feel like a mall that’s down to a Macy’s and a Burlington Coat Factory." from the dark room that is Twitter

Elon Musk’s total history of engagement with progressives on Twitter:

- Mocking
@EdMarkey

- Taunting
@AOC
for having union merch
- Calling
@ewarren
“Senator Karen”
- Telling
@BernieSanders
“I forgot you were alive”
- Responding to Hillary with the Pelosi conspiracy theory

@mcfate You sound like a sophisticated individual.

@mcfate I'm a former paramedic so I don't really care if you believe me or not.

@mcfate I haven't relied on internet traffic exclusively. I also listen to 911 traffic and local news. However, in the Troublesome Fire particularly Twitter was enormously helpful in getting ppl over the continental divide. It would be nice to have a public service platform where this info would be provided.

@mcfate I don't know that to be true. I live in the West and it is (was) especially useful during wildfires. Current, on the ground info from ppl in a situation is invaluable.

@mcfate I'm not promoting it. I rue its demise. A platform not run by a psycho is sorely needed for dissemination of public information.

@mcfate A lot of ppl on here are on both.

@BagpussUnleashed Muskrat and his financial backers deliberately set about to destroy Twitter. It was a threat to them as the nut jobs all own most of the media. It was a calculated demolition with ratface at the controls.

@JolieSaboteuse Sadly it is.

I know I am supposed to hate #Twitter but I rather like it and find it irreplaceable even while being run by a lunatic. It is a combination of citizen voices, official notifications, musings, celebrity preening, trolls, bots and most importantly-news. Millions rely on info from Twitter,
