Elon has chosen to initially destabilize the network by making big changes like removing the ability of users to Blocking Block people on social media.
In the short term that increases the conflict. Some people who are traumatized have moved off the platform - see Migration seeking less conflict elsewhere. That reduces the conflict.

Even the fact that bots are allowed is a good thing since it allows more experimentation.
Elon Is smart - he’s paid 40 billion to fix society. Kind of cheap - shame it had to be privately funded. X is hated by the media because it’s replacing them. They are not unbiased actors in this conversation. See Manufacturing Consent.
Vive Elon. Vive X.
