There is absolutely nothing related to technology with this. Twitter is not a tech company. They produce no tech. They’re a social media company.

No, they’re an advertising company.

You (users) pay musk to display your original created content on his platform, your content is then used to attract companies that pay musk so they can display adverts to people reading your original content.

I don’t know what their current level of public contribution is, but there was a time where they put out some pretty popular OSS like pants / pex and bootstrap. In any case I think it is pretty common to consider social media platforms themselves to be technology. I get your meaning though, but there are many posts much further over the obviously-not-tech line then this.

Seriously, My entire feed is just Musk, Trump and Biden.

We have a politics sub for this

How else are you going to fight against people like Elon except by talking about them constantly and making sure not a day goes by that they're not on the front page of every social media site and news outlet? Worked so great with Trump too.
