Elon Musk’s purchase of TwiX made all of this happen.

We would still be in the dark today if not for this move.

Whatever i may ultimately think about Elon Musk, I will be forever grateful to him and Matt for the Twitter files! It was the beginning of the Great Unravelling!

The restoration has been imperfect, there are still a few, exiled in the early days of the gender war who are not allowed back yet, but the change has improved the climate greatly.

I think the twitter files were an objectively very good thing--even if musk popped before the zipper even came down.

I think a very strong argument can be made that Musk bought twitter to prevent Trump from becoming president. His fear was that if people who self identified as republicans, but not necessarily Trump supporters, were banned from mainstream internet communication platforms simply for the word they self identified under--that those people would become Trump supporters simply to survive.

Musk's attempt to promote the candidacy of Ron "Gitmo Torture" DeSantis was somehow even more awkward than the candidate himself.

The twitter free speech Musk felt necessary to pull in self-identified republicans was also what Trump used to body Musk into taking a deal. Very interesting to watch.
