Banning it just causes them to be the victim.

Put a massive tax on all of the multinational american leech corporations that control our media. Musk isn't the cause of the problem, he's a symptom of it.

Who cares if they're perceived as the victim? People will forget about Twitter within 6 months if it's blocked, and during that time, the propaganda machine takes a hit.
