And that is because it is Liberal/Left/Centrist thought that is the core of engagement and not right thought, typically.
Right thought, like conspiracy theory talk has been unable to generate anything more than very limited echo boxes with low engagement. What people on the right and CTers need is already healthy platforms of mostly left/Centre discussion where they can go in and oppositionallly post their content, to outrage the Left/Centre. That is what then generates ongoing discussions where they can keep posting more and more.
In many ways right talk, like CT talk is parasitic as its needs an establish, healthy host to tag on to.
Elon is trying to get the left to not leave and to reengaged them in passionate talk. Once they reply to him with outrage, he can step back and let the right trolls do the rest, in raising engagement levels. He is not trying to return any 'sanity'.
