Elon routinely interacted with and retweeted nazis on Twitter long before he bought it. After, he fired the content safety staff and courted nazis who had been banned and put them back on the site. Earlier this year he started PAYING THEM to keep posting.

It's nice that people are noticing his nazi shit now, but it's a journalistic malpractice that it's taken this long and most omit this history.

@fraying "In a series of paragraphs that are up there as being among the most shocking I have read in my journalistic career, the Post acknowledged on Saturday — dropped in the middle of the holiday weekend, more than a week after the Times’s report — that they had known about the flag since at least January 20, 2021, and had not revealed knowledge of it until May 25, 2024." - @chrisgeidner
