Maybe. I doubt anyone is accusing Musk of specifically being okay with CSAM on his website.
The more likely accusation is that staffing problems at X—in the form of raw number of employees as well as employee morale and anything else contributing to how much work gets done—are so severe that more CSAM is getting through, and staying up, for longer than before.
Didn't he unban and stick up for somebody who posted CSAM to the site? (I'll try and find the article with it, if anybody else knows what it is feel free to reply with it).
Edit: Here it is
Non-Paywall version
There's something seriously wrong with our communication infrastructure if some rich nutjob can just buy up an important piece of it and run it into the ground like this. This could've never happened if Twitter were a worker-owned collective. Chalk another one up for capitalism.
Or if it were a federated platform made up of different instances with their own different business models and corporate structures.
But of course, federation and interoperability doesn't work well with capitalist goals, so it's still to blame either way.
