Elon has said he’s more of a centrist. So it’s always amusing to see the far left brand him as far right because he opposes their radical ideology.

"Watch what they do, not what they say" is a useful principle, here. There's no reason to take his attempt to self-label as a centrist at face value, but there's mountains of evidence that he seeks to amplify the right.
The previous regime of twitter censored accounts that are to the right, so when that's your idea of a normal, any change that allows all sides to share a platform could be interpreted to "amplify the right".
It isn't clear to me that accounts to the right were more or less likely to break platform rules. Has there been any analysis?

This assertion is commonly made but never backed up with data, because it’s fiction. Elon Musk even gave full access to various people to try to find something to back that up and they found no evidence of anything like the alleged censorship campaign. Even Matt Taibi was reduced to tricks like pointing to the Biden campaign reporting tweets and hoping his readers were credulous enough not to see that those tweets were non-consensual nudity.
"North Korea says it's a democracy. So it's always amusing to see the far left brand it as a dictatorship because it opposes their radical ideology."
he's just a reactionary; he doesn't have any coherent principles beyond self interest and reacting to things
Sure, and the nazis were socialist

I do not understand in what context your comment is a response to mine.
I also don't know who you're quoting. Probably the straw leftist you think you're arguing with?

Given that former President Trump is a center-left politician it makes perfect sense.
