Yann Lecun is also telling everyone on Twitter very loudly that he won't be posting on Twitter.

The Guardian in another article explains that they are annoyed because Musk used twitter to promote his preferred candidate.

The Guardian itself used their own platform to publicly endorse Harris.

This deja-vu of childish antics is just comical in 2024

I think it's much more reasonable for a news outlet to have a political opinion than a social platform.

The social platform doesn’t have a political opinion. Its owner does. Every owner of every company ever has had political opinions.

You're implying said owner doesn't influence the workings of the platform. He does.

I think you should be explicit about what it is you’re suggesting. I can’t be arsed trying to read your mind.
