It's not even that. It's that Elon Musk: 1. bought it. 2. revealed to them that he didn't share their leftist politics.
Seriously. It's that simple.
Prior to that, they loved twitter, and they constantly sucked off Elon Musk. Doesn't anyone else remember what reddit threads used to be like that involved him? Stuff like him making the stupid flamethrower, or proposing the hyperloop? They loved the guy then, because they assumed he was one of their own. Now that it's fairly clear that he's somewhere more in the middle, he's public enemy number one, and they're not going to ever stop attacking Twitter. He dared to break up their monopoly on controlling public discourse on the internet, and that is something they cannot abide.
