It's hard to tell how much of it is machiavellian plotting now that his "side" is in power and will benefit from a tighter crackdown on dissent, versus how much of the changes are just due to Elon getting more and more upset with getting constantly dunked on and hated on Twitter and social media.

At this point he's managed to make "all sides" hate him, except for maybe the Tesla fans and crypto cadres, and maybe that's finally starting to wear on him.

It could also be Elon finally realizing and reckoning with what we all already knew about social media, but he doesn't seem like that kind of person.

I also wonder how long it will take them to get on each other nerves and part ways.
