Come now. You of all people should know and understand that the makeup and legitimacy of a social network is entirely the result of its users. Twitter persists as the home of political reporting because it has rules that are suited to its users. If those rules change, the ecosystem changes - it happened to Digg, it happened to Reddit, it happened to Facebook.

Should Elon Musk take Twitter over and change the ecosystem to more poorly serve the clientele that supports it, the clientele will leave and he'll have paid $43b for Gab.
