Maybe she should get off a platform ran by a Nazi
As a politician trying to reach members of the public, including those who could possibly be swayed by you, the last thing you want to do is entirely remove yourself from a platform with a very large reach.
Wanting people to leave Twitter is all well and good, but you can't discount the fact that so many people are still on there, and refuse to spend the time setting up new profiles on entirely different sites with smaller userbases. For politicians, reach is key, and Twitter still has the users.
Back when Playboy was "the men's magazine you read for the articles," they always had an extensive interview with a major public figure. Often it would be someone with a moral component to their careers, like religious figures or politicians, and they would be criticized for lending their credibility to what many felt was pornography.
Inevitably, every one justified it by saying, "If you want to reach the sinners, you can't wait for them to come to you, you have to go to them."
Hugh Hefner was a suspected rapist at the time, but Elon is a confirmed Nazi right now.
