The establishment has been on damage control and reduction ever since Elon took over Twitter.
Simply having ONE social media that is mainstream not under their full control has shown their power structure is not a web but a house of cards and removing one has already made it unstable with every other institution having to be blatant in their bias to compensate.
In fairness, Twitter had disproportionate power in creating narrative (which was why the establishment was pushing it in the first place). A lot of people get news from Facebook, but Twitter always gets eyeballs for hot-takes.
In the realm of the media, you rarely see news stories about what someone posted to social media unless that social media is Twitter, Facebook, then Reddit, and in that order.
They lost a top level position of control. Facebook has too many Trump boomers on it to make it worth anything but monitoring and subversion. But Twitter set the agenda for the Left. Losing control of that is a real problem.

Yah almost every news story originates on Twitter. That's where the journalists all hang out.
