Which was to be expected. Many conservative accounts have seen really shady changes in their follower numbers over the past five years, and Twitter during the buyout is having to truth up to their actions (including lies about subscriber numbers.)

In the meantime, the 'I'll move to Canada if Trump gets elected' crowd is threatening to leave (to Gab or Parler, I guess.)
So liberal/progressive accounts are seeing a visible, if temporary, decline.

So the changes seem easily explained by events. No one, including Musk, seems to be secretly manipulating much of anything.

Right now, anyway.
