As X’s owner and most followed user, Elon Musk has increasingly used the social media platform as a microphone to amplify his political views and, lately, those of right-wing figures he’s aligned with. There are few modern parallels to his antics, but then again there are few modern parallels to Elon Musk himself.

Twitter has been taken over by the saddest billionaire on earth.

Are you a bad enough dude to delete your account and go literally anywhere else?
