Just minutes after DeSantis joined Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces, and before the politician could even speak, Musk could be heard saying, 'The servers are straining somewhat.” Then the stream abruptly ended, apparently overwhelmed by some 667,000 listeners.
All those questions pressed—conveniently—on DeSantis’ favorite topics, including his fight with Disney that began when the company objected to a law restricting discussion of sexuality in schools, claims of tech platforms censoring conservatives, and “authoritarian” Covid mandates.
They spoke up for conservative topics that seem to increasingly interest Musk, too, whose public remarks have come to be less focused on engineering electric cars and rockets and more on the preoccupations of conservatives who spend too much time on the internet.
It was all performed with lashings of brown-nosing. “I'm one of your biggest fans,” Massie gushed to Musk. “It’s incredible, what you have done here,” enthused Deace. Musk himself joined that chorus, spending a significant chunk of the event talking about his own Twitter account.
On that topic at least, Musk and his guests were consistent with one another and the wider community still using the platform. Since the billionaire’s takeover, Twitter is oftenElon Musk. About four in ten US adult Twitter users have mentioned the CEO in a tweet since early 2022, according to recentAdditional reporting by Amanda Hoover.
