If musk would realize that most people, no matter their political views, see it this way and will seek new platforms eventually, he might do something positive about it. Maybe.

He hates democracy in X, where X ranges over every country, or community for that matter. Turkey is just the current high-value target.
As his mentor put it "Competition is for losers", Musk salutes that, search for "Musk salutes" to see how.
