Chinese style may refer to WeChat.
They could have said WeChat style, but there's a clear desire to invoke the Chinese specifically and the connotation that it represents.

The phrasing is intentionally designed to make Musk look like he's trying to manipulate, control and propagandize Twitter users by likening it to the communist Chinese.

Heck, look at the other phrasing this clown uses.

"Tech braniac". Why not say tech pioneer, or tech entrepreneur, or tech mogul even? "Braniac" has a connotation and is often used derisively to denigrate someone who you think did something stupid.

"Bones of Twitter". Why not say "as he transitions from traditional Twitter" or something like that? Again, conoting that he killed Twitter.

"Too bad Apple got there first." Obvious derision. Comparing him disfavorably to apple, the leftist sacred cow, who "of course" was more innovative than "braniac" Musk.

Except if he's praising Apple for doing it before Musk, maybe what Musk is doing with Twitter isn't that bad if if it was apparently ok for Apple to do.

But then, who would expect the braniacs on the left to have consistency or logic in their opinions?

There isn't much more of a stark contrast you can demonstrate between unbiased and biased media.

You know the answer to your questions.

The funny part is I have no idea how "Apple" did it first. Because they haven't done this at all.

I don't have anything Apple so I don't even know, I guess I should know better than to trust any part of what that guy says.

I think someone put Trevon Diggs on blast.

His account is locked. Apparently he liked a post of a trans person with tits and a dick and it said “like if you’ll suck it.”.

He thought it was private and some dude called him out on it and his account is locked now.
