No, but it establishes how useful a tool a Twitter you control is to crushing dissent. Which explains why they helped Musk buy it - as bad as Twitter’s previous management may have been, they at least tried to appear honorable. Musk is really leaning into the authoritarian bootlicker thing, so I’m sure he’s eager to get Tesla programmers in there to find new ways to hunt down dissidents.
