I think that once it becomes blatantly obvious that he's not running Twitter as a "free speech platform" but simply arbitrarily banning people on whatever his whims are and isn't some bold whistleblower but is only promoting right-wing clickbait stories for the purpose of clickbait and generating Twitter activity they'll drop him like a hot potato.

Who exactly has been banned since Musk took over?
Kanye, Alex Jones has been denied being back on, anarchist collective Crimethinc and a bunch of random tankies (well deserved bans though, don't get me wrong.)

...and it's happening:




(Plenty of others)

For the unfamiliar Jackson Hinkle is a Putin apologist podcaster who claims to be a leftist but is like Jimmie Dore in that his following is almost exclusively right-wing now and he basically endorsed the Republicans this year.
