      And that’s dumb. I’m “liberal” in the technical sense (i.e. the old definition of liberal, i.e. the founding fathers), but not in the present sense (i.e. “progressive”). I despise Musk and Trump, but I also despise Biden and Harris. I want more personal freedoms, and both major parties seem to be trying to take them away from me, but in different ways and with different justifications.

      So I don’t use X, largely because I don’t see a point, but also because I’d really rather avoid all the nonsense from the Musk/Trump fans there. I want free speech, and I’m not convinced X is it.

      I know thats the real definition. That doesnt make sense with the posted quote though. Why would Musk care if everyone that didn’t like him left twitter?
