Except that Elon just threw his friend Kanye off Twitter for sharing an idea.
An idea that's illegal in parts of the world.

Musk's drama posts if anyone you follow follows him. Stopped Twitter partially because I'm tired of reading whatever his current emotional outburst is.
No one forced you to read Elon.
The question is what changed which in this case Elon shows up on my feed a lot more and his posts are a lot more annoying. And as I said I stopped Twitter to not see his posts.
edit: I could block him but then there's the second order posts about his drama with screenshots. Realized I don't care enough about Twitter to bother and prefer a calmer life.

#34Good for the author. Let’s start working on the successor to the “Big Web” and the competitor of the “small web” called the “The Hole”.

Literally this. Any examples of what exactly has changed?
Moderation seems to have changed by a lot. More gory videos stay up, nsfw pictures stay up, etc. It will slowly go out of control if this is a trend, I would guess.
I don't think moderation has changed at all. I'm not in the gore-y scene but I wouldn't be surprised if it has always been on Twitter, just marked as sensitive. Most social media sites have that 'dark reality' content scenes.
Same goes for NSFW stuff, that stuff has been on Twitter long before Musk bought it and it will still be available just marked as sensitive (like it always has). I doubt they will go the Tumblr route and kill a giant part of the userbase.

> now people are forced to (gulp) participate in the marketplace of ideas. Nobody is forced to do anything. People don't have to sign up for Twitter. Twitter users don't have to stay on Twitter. They don't have to tweet. They don't have to reply. They can still follow anyone they want, unfollow anyone they want, mute anyone they want, block anyone they want. Some people think of Twitter as high school debate club on…

Well, my account has quit bleeding follows and my tweets "feel" as though they have more reach, although that may just be more conservatives returning to the platform.

It's not cool anymore to be in it. In fact it's cool to your aspirational peers to say you dislike it now.

A lot of people are complaining about Twitter … on Twitter. Pause and reflect.
