Man, I utterly detest Musk and think he's dumb as bricks, but blaming Musk for this feels like a big stretch. Not, you know, Tencent or the CCP?

That part of the video is more "it sucks these rich assholes are ruining our ability to stay connected by destroying the experience we'd come to enjoy and become used to." It's not saying he meant it, just mentioning how hard it is to stay connected with people online while switching platforms, and how easy it is to lose track of things you found important before.
