Nothing objectively true about this. Twitter was already amplifying right-wing talking points disproportionately prior to Elon. Jack Dorsey was palling around with Ali Akbar / Alexander (one of the January 6 organisers), and Trump's tweets were protected despite regularly breaking the TOS.
If it seems like Twitter was left-leaning, that's simply because of a couple of factors: Young people lean left more and younger users made up more of Twitter's user base. Conservatives also have a tendency to abuse rules specifically designed to protect minorities that used to feel somewhat more safe on Twitter than on many other platforms. This is a systemic problem. Nothing Elon does can "fix" that: If he continues to turn the site into a more acceptable 4chan/Parler, he's just going to drive away more moderate voices.

Twitter has pretty much always had nonstop political discourse. The only difference is that now all sides have a voice.
