If the Trump campaign paid for it as an ad, I'm not upset by it assuming anyone else could have paid to promote an alternative political candidate.
If it's an in-kind donation to the campaign, that's troublesome.
I want to transfer my tweets to my Mastodon before deleting my Twitter account.
I don't understand why a tool like still doesn't exist.

I'm surprised Twitter is still running. How many engineers do they have?
Maybe those engineers should go rogue and just.. not do this. But no, probably the ones left are jerks who support this, or people with visa worries.
Maybe someone will push Musk in front of a bus though.
There is a point in every cult where the leader increases restrictions and demands purity. What this does is eliminate the free thinking people by forcing them to chose. The more you impose these restrictions the crazier they get targeting only the most devote and the most codependent people.
What you end up with is an army of sycophants that will die before they leave the cult. Twitter will be the largest imposition of this strategy on a targeted group of people that i can think of. It's time to start being afraid of the cult of elon.

He's said he's going to donate $45m per month to Trump until November. It's becoming very clear he bought out Twitter to suppress free communication of people.
He sees which way the wind is blowing and is hoping he can help install Dictator-for-a-day Trump who'll deregulate every industry and cut every tax that might apply to him.
Isn't that illegal in some way?
