Twitter & Reddit have both been incredibly useful platforms for raising awareness of all kinds of issues and causes which are anathema to conservative goals. People have been exposed to ideas & events without ever needing to seek those out.

The right-wing failed at creating their own networks and have nothing to offer to ordinary people besides paranoia, so the next best thing is neutralising avenues of enlightening information.

Elon's demented & clueless, but he & Huffman are very useful idiots for the rest of their class.
