I see no proof of Musk being up to something in particular. Musk has made public the metric shit-tons of swarm-directing which had been carried out via Twitter by US agencies over the past decade. It's there for anyone who cares to read. But claims that he's acting anti-left are unfounded. Musk's twitter still harbours limitless amounts of deranged leftists, just go and look. It has them all: deranged left, sane left, sane right and deranged right.
It may be a cultural shock to those habituated to a pre-Musk twitter (where the sane right was half-purged and the deranged right was near-totally expunged, while the deranged left was festering) but this rebalancing has not "killed" twitter, it just made it all the more interesting.
However, significantly, the rebalancing REDUCED twitter's potential to be a swarm-directing playground. There's no "fundamentally new politics that bear watching" here; the interesting stuff is (largely) behind us, and can be watched at leisure in the "Twitter Files". Musk himself does not appear to have an agenda, beyond occasionally indulging in the autistic joys of shitposting.
