Elon Musk's Twitter coup has harmed the right. They are now simply too online' | Paolo Gerbaudo
Briefly

Many digital platforms, like X, were dominated by liberals, leading Democrats to become complacent and make alienating gestures, exemplified by Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" comment.
The right's online influence has surged, as demonstrated by an increase in rightwing themes on platforms like YouTube, X, and Telegram, significantly impacting political discourse.
This social media dominance has fostered a sense of complacency around rightwing messages, exemplified by JD Vance's comments and viral online hoaxes linked to rightwing candidates.
Elon Musk's influence on Twitter has cemented a social media hegemony for the right, resembling the complacency that previously affected Democrats following Trump's election.
