He might have threats/deals behind the scene. Voat is the biggest Reddit alternative, it's not inconceivable that he's paid off to shut it down or threatened with legal action if the didn't.

I just saw it recently. The fact the YouTube censored a chess podcast and only relented when there's enough user making noise about it is concerning. Many other smaller chess channel would have to just take the censorship.

Musk hired some WEF bitch to be the Twitter CEO. He's after the Twitter database for AI training, he's not interested in free speech or anything like that.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2023/05/12/what-to-know-about-linda-yaccarino-musks-pick-for-twitter-ceo/

According to her LinkedIn profile, Yaccarino is also involved with the World Economic Forum, WEF, where she chairs the organization’s taskforce on the future of work and sits on the media, entertainment and culture industry governors steering committee.

The agenda-setting convener of industry, political and civic leaders, perhaps best known for its annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland, has long been a lightning rod for baseless conspiracy theories and Yaccarino’s connection appears to irk some of Musk’s right-leaning or anarchist base, who suggest her background undermines the platform’s commitment to free speech championed under current leadership.

Nah, he doesn't care if Twitter censors. Just look at her background and you'll already see that she'll censor anything against their narrative. With the move that Musk make Twitter part of X Corp, he's probably doing something with the data. Maybe X Corp will have it's on AI research dept (we wouldn't know since it's private) so they can use that data to train AI.
