One typo I wanted to bring to your attention. It’s “social cues” not “social queues.”
I think you strike the right balance. Some content moderation is fine (because Twitter is a private company) and good (because you want to be able to stop people from being incredibly abusive). But the Left wants to police truth. “Misinformation” quickly becomes “whatever we don’t like.”
The Left has been trying to write conservatism out of the Overton Window for 75 years (or more). One day we will wake up and someone will “fact check” the statement “The USSR was a Marxist regime” to be “false.” And then after that, defending capitalism will become “disinformation.” I think the whining by Trumpist types about Big Tech silencing them is overblown. But it comes from a legitimate place of anger over the fact that progressivism has used dirty tricks to malign the Right for decades.
Good luck to Elon. I hope he does a good job. I think you hit on part of the Left’s anger towards him with the “rich white man,” line. Some on the left reflexively hate anyone who has money, especially a white male.
