I'm glad that Evans has a "final straw", but I find it strange that the last week, which he mentions a couple times in the article, was the final straw for him:
> We saw this at its logical conclusion in the last week, with deliberate misinformation promoted
> It wasn’t, as this week, telling us all to read a very obvious misinformation account
This kind of thing has been happening ever since Musk took over Twitter. For example, a year ago: "Elon Musk, new owner of Twitter, tweets unfounded, anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theory about Paul Pelosi attack" https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/30/elon-musk-new-owner-of-twitt...
And while Musk did eventually delete the tweet, he was still unrepentent: "This is fake – I did not tweet out a link to The New York Times!" https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1586871691686223872
So there's nothing new happening now that wasn't happening all along, the past year, except perhaps that Musk has started tweeting about something that Evans personally cares about.
