Notes -
I've been seeing it everywhere since 2016. The nerds, who imagined themselves philosopher-kings by proxy, were completely shocked and outraged that their obvious choice - which, on their opinion, wasn't really a choice at all, just confirming the obvious - hasn't been implemented. They have been determined ever since to not let it be repeated - and explicitly said so, many times on many occasions. To achieve it, extreme intolerance to anybody who does not align themselves with the party line, is necessary, thus the outrage directed at those who dare to break the ranks. Musk didn't just slightly broke the ranks - he captured one of their major platforms, and let his hordes rampage through it. The hate is fully expected.
Remember that they murdered Parler (1.0) and tried to murder Gab. And, as you can witness looking at the address bar of your browser, cleansed Reddit of thoughtcriminals. And they destroyed a number of smaller platforms. Of course they want Twitter to go down - it's captured by the enemy! They want every single no-woke site to go down. And of course the media will savor any problem with Twitter - it's the problem that the enemy has, it should be highlighted to confirm that the enemy is stupid and evil.
Well, any celebrity has base amount of haters (sometimes deservedly, nobody is perfect and being a celebrity highlights the faults). Musk just has that plus all the wokes hate him by default.
