I think Elon might try to intervene in that, either by regulations favoring his platform, or industrial sabotage. Maybe even try to get into the fediverse game, so X accounts could interact with Bluesky or Mastodon ones.

I don't see how regulations can help him there, especially given the nature of the Web. Bluesky can always move offshore, beyond the reach of the US authorities.

I also imagine both Bluesky and Mastadon users will tell x users, loudly and clearly, to fuck off.
