I'm not sure I agree. I don't feel the need to talk to thousands of people with Elon's permission. I'm happy with a small group no one controls.
That's fair, though I'd argue that asking someone who *already has* a lot of reach to trade in that reach for censorship resistance would rightfully lead that someone to ask "what's the point?". It's essentially asking them to retire and then spend their days shooting the breeze with their pals in a bar.
