To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why "Hitler was right"

It doesn't matter what Twitter started out as, it's a company and can be bought and sold. It was bought by a fascist and is now a de facto fascist website. You posting on Twitter is not "fighting the Nazis", it's supporting one by giving him a better return on his investment. If everyone who actually had any kind of conviction in their beliefs left the site then the casual users would leave too because the only content left would be fascist content.

If you actually want to make a difference you have two options:

Buy the site from Elon Musk and ban them.
Stop using the website so it stops making money and becomes non-viable to continue operating.
