How was this not the first thing anyone thought of when he bought Twitter? I literally said, “Elon wants to sway the results of elections like Zuck does.” and immediately closed my twitter account and moved to Mastodon, unsuccessfully urging any of my (hypocritical) peers that would listen to do the same for the sake of free speech.

Ah, but you see, they're throwing sand in the gears by posting mean tweets about Elon.

There's a lot of deluded people who really think leaving twitter is the same as leaving the country, only letting the powers that be harm the most marginalized groups, not realizing that the cost of leaving twitter for mastodon is INFINITELY lower than the cost of leaving America. Most of the most marginalized left twitter in the first wave, meaning those deluded folks are just the kinds of people the Nazis already associated with: people who are more okay with Nazis than they should be, frequently referred to using the term "Nazi"
