I can't go more than 3 or 4 tweets (posts, whatever) without running into a spamy ad nowadays. They now even look very closely like tweets. That app is a cesspool.

  Tesla’s largest recall won’t fix Autopilot safety issues, experts say
By Faiz Siddiqui and Trisha Thadani
December 16, 2023 at 6:49 ET
Tesla this week agreed to issue a remote update to 2 million cars aimed at improving driver attention while Autopilot is engaged, especially on surface roads with cross traffic and other hazards the driver-assistance technology is not designed to detect.
But the recall — the largest in Tesla’s 20-year history — quickly drew condemnation from experts and lawmakers, who said new warnings and alerts are unlikely to solve Autopilot’s fundamental flaw: that Tesla fails to limit where drivers can turn it on in the first place.
“What a missed opportunity,” said Matthew Wansley, a professor at the Cardozo School of Law in New York who specializes in emerging automotive technologies. “I have yet to see Tesla, or anyone defending Tesla, come up with an argument for why we should be letting people use [Autopilot] on roads that could have cross traffic. That’s how a lot of these crashes are happening.”
“It’s far from sufficient,” added Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a frequent Tesla critic.
[How Tesla's Autopilot got grounded]
The recall comes more than two years after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) first launched an investigation into Autopilot after a string of Teslas plowed into parked emergency vehicles. Since then, the agency said it had reviewed more than 900 crashes involving Autopilot. It found that Autopilot’s key Autosteer feature “may not” have sufficient controls to “prevent driver misuse,” including using the feature outside the controlled-access highways for which it was designed.
The notice said Tesla did not concur with the agency’s findings, though it began sending remote software updates on Tuesday, NHTSA said.

Something very strange has happened on Twitter for the last 24 hours. Suddenly I see a lot of Pro-Desantis/Anti-Trump tweets posts. It seems absolutely out of the blue.

I'm not aware of anything that would push so many conservatives from Trump to Desantis so my best guess is that Elon has tweaked Free Speech's algorithm. 

EDIT: And it's painting an absolutely ugly picture of animosity between the candidates and the fanbases.

 A federal judge on Friday gave the go-ahead to a lawsuit against the social media company X, formerly known as Twitter, in which workers claim that the company promised but never paid millions of dollars in bonuses.
