This is a really lazy take. The elite have forever wanted to control the common people through the manipulation of laws, economy, news,etc. That's why the Saudis put up the majority of the loan to enable Elon to buy it...so they could gain control over public dissent and white wash their abhorrent public image.

Meanwhile, Elon's a glorified troll with a god complex, who wants to build his own clubhouse for more extreme right wing content.

Which makes me think it did both things ...

subverted a major platform where common people were actually debating real life problems with one another in a constructive way
filled it with far right rhetoric to promote extreme ideology and keep people occupied, fighting and divided so that they can no longer organize against the rich
