> I know this site will always continue to support Musk
I agree with your other points, but this is missing the mark. There is some degree of editorial control over what “this site” publishes, but none on the comments (you’d had to go quite far to get banned). “This site” is not a homogenous single-minded entity. And you don’t have to dig far to see both stories and comments very critical of Musk. I happen to share that point of view, but that’s besides the point.
The "Twitter Files" also generally fail to make that case for the site's previous ownership. For example, they attempted to show that there was censorship of Hunter Biden discussion, but nearly every example in the thread was just explicit nudes of Hunter Biden being removed because revenge porn is against the rules. They also claimed to show a bias against the account "Libs of TikTok," but the evidence they presented showed that the account was actually given preferential treatment, with a flag on the account to not impose any penalties on the account without first getting the OK from management.
So it's pretty rich to stretch that far to whine about imaginary censorship and then just blatantly censor speech you don't like.
