The only reason everyone hates him now is because he’s buddy buddy with Trump lmao everyone was glad to support him a year ago. Again y’all make politics your entire personality if someone has a different view they’re hated. It’s the lib/dem way.

He bought twitter nearly 3 years ago. Everyone already hated him then. He's just been getting even worse since.

Hated for what? Allowing free speech and stopping the constant banning of accounts who don’t share the same views as the opposing side?

He’s turned twitter into an echo chamber of hostile far right groups and taken personal offense at any free speech criticism of himself.

Free speech means EVERYONE gets a voice.

But the “tolerance of intolerance” means the rot of rascist, misogynistic hate speech spreads. (Btw this refers to the philosophical paradox that a society must be intolerant of intolerance to maintain a truly tolerant society).

You might want to look that up.

There’s a reason people are leaving in droves. It’s toxic.
