Meta has to want to follow Musks as example explicitly. If he look at Musk, that's a worrying trajectory. Elon Musk specifically boosts his own posts on Twitter over others even if you don't follow him. He downranks anything with the word cisgender. He boosts accounts that pay him for checkmarks and has taken those checkmarks away from people who criticize him
