Number 2 is particularly interesting because you'd expect Elon would just want to boot his political opponents. But in fact, it helps with engagement. Because it creates conflict and anger and this is known to keep users active on the site.
It also presents the opportunity to turn his opponents into supporters over time with conditioning.
You have to imagine this kind of process running for months or years on someone. It's like automating the shifting of the the Overton Window among users.
