I think this is huge. Twitter has been seen as a liberal echo chamber with conservative views being blocked or called fake new and "moderated". So now liberals are leaving because a conservative is buying it. Conservatives are coming back because they feel like they might be able to speak their mind. At least, that is the perspective I from watching this on the outside.
