Ok, but the only people left are either hostages or sycophants.

Doubt either care at this point.

Or they're just people trying to earn their pay. Why must everything be a political divide these days...

You say that in a tone of contradiction, but sycophants are absolutely trying to earn their pay. They've just decided that their true job is what their context rewards.

So what though? They existed before and they'll continue to exist, they didn't magically appear 'because Musk.'

Nothing magic about it. When you fire all the people who contradict you, you create yes men and a culture of sycophancy. At that point it's self-perpetuating.

Twitter had many issues as a company, but one of its strengths was a lot of independent thinking and honest speech among staff. That's surely gone, and once gone it's very hard to get back.
