After Musk's acquisition of Twitter a few weeks ago, conservatives and libertarians are exploding with joy, thinking that they finally have a rich guy on their side who's going to save them, so they don't have to save themselves.

The fact that he got rid of a lot of corrupt, freedom-hating lunatics in his first week there is a triumph, and now he's proving what everyone already knew with his release of The Twitter Files - that Twitter had been systematically rigging elections, censoring dissent and discussion, and engaging in corrupt and malicious behavior while hiding under the umbrella of "trust and safety".
