I think they mean “anyone who doesn’t support Musk/Trump.”

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

And that's dumb. I'm "liberal" in the technical sense (i.e. the old definition of liberal, i.e. the founding fathers), but not in the present sense (i.e. "progressive"). I despise Musk and Trump, but I also despise Biden and Harris. I want more personal freedoms, and both major parties seem to be trying to take them away from me, but in different ways and with different justifications.

So I don't use X, largely because I don't see a point, but also because I'd really rather avoid all the nonsense from the Musk/Trump fans there. I want free speech, and I'm not convinced X is it.

I know thats the real definition. That doesnt make sense with the posted quote though. Why would Musk care if everyone that didn't like him left twitter?

He’d lose a lot of money from premium memberships and ad revenue.
