While I know this thread isn't really for me, since I don't have a twitter and never have, admittedly I am still exposed to and click on tweets way more often then I'd like. But ultimately, as odious as I find Musk (pun intended), there isn't really anything he can do that would stop me from laughing at a tweet or whatever. So while you are right that I don't "have" to, the reality is that with the network effect dictating where I or my friends find those funny tweets, I don't really have a choice. And besides, every time someone shares a tweet it is literally costing Elon money.
