Or, hear me out. You go for a bigger baby... just target the shit out of Trump and Vance.

Elon will just do what he needs to do to silence the posts and posters. But if the platform is making deepfakes of Trump... that'll cause more tension between them. Have deepfakes of Trump bragging about getting away with the Epstein files, scamming over his mindless followers, etc. (Lets be honest, they'd be fake videos of things that actually happened.) Just flood it. And make all of them click bait as hell.

If you observed anything the right wingers did in the last few years, you'd know they already are doing that themselves. Vance literally wore his South Park baby face photoshop for Halloween. They are perfectly ok with everything you listed, in fact they believe it's a huge own that it bothers you and they get away with it. Trump said he could shoot anyone in the middle of the street and not lose any votes the first time around, this time he could literally nuke the US and still keep his voters.
