Look at the framing, though:
“The advertisers aren’t paying me”
“I have to pay Twitter”
“They banned my account”
The complaints are broadly generalized to be about Twitter and the ecosystem in general, but Elon Musk is directly responsible for all of this. Making the leap would be “Hold on, this website started sucking the moment Musk took over and made all these changes. Perhaps he’s he responsible party, given that he’s he one who is doing these things and taking credit for them publicly.”

It didn’t start when Musk took over. It always sucked. But it sucked “more” for conservatives with shit content and a propensity for losing privileges.
Musk “fixed” these problems by playing favorites with reactionaries like CatTurd (up to a point).
But now simply posting prolific garbage to a wider audience isn’t enough. CatTurd wants to get paid like a YouTube starlet from the early '00s, not just crank out Musk’s slop for free.
That’s my point, though, there’s no acknowledgement that the things that he doesn’t like are literally the changes Musk made to the site. Apparently, Elon Musk is responsible for the good changes, but Twitter is to blame for the negative consequences. Anyone with two working brain cells would simply blame the guy who has repeatedly said “I am the one making these changes.” CHUDs will blame the POTUS for gas prices going up, I’m pretty sure they can draw a line from “Musk buys Twitter” to “Twitter sucks now.”

He did like the things Musk changed. Musk elevated his profile substantially when he had historically been invisible on the site. It just wasn’t enough.
CatTurd thinks he should be pulling down Justin Beiber money for his celebrity. He got a taste but it wasn’t enough.

CHUDs will blame POTUS for the price of gas going up when the price goes down. They literally cannot be appeased.
