Sure, but sometimes it’s just a PM and a couple of other people that lead to a feature being implemented. Also, keep in mind that Community Notes was a thing before Musk. Why was Twitter different than other social media websites?
Also, the Community Notes code was apparently completely revamped by a few people working on the open-source code, which got it to a point where it was easy to implement, and everyone liked the feature because it noticeably worked.
Either way, I’d rather push for making it happen and somehow it fails on other websites than having pessimism and not trying at all. If it needs someone higher up the chain, let’s make it happen.

Twitter seems to have started Birdwatch as a small separate pilot project where it likely wasn’t easy to fight or on anyone’s radar to fight.
In the current enviroment, where X gets seen as evil by a lot of the mainstream media, I would suspect that copying Community Notes from X would alone produce some resistence. The antibodies are now there in a way they weren’t two years ago.

I think you would likely need to make a case that it’s good business in addition to helping with truth.
If you want to make your argument via truth, motivating some reporters to write favorable articles about Community Notes might be necessary.
Good points; I’ll keep them all in mind. If money is the roadblock, we can put pressure on the companies to do this. Or, worst-case, maybe the government can enforce it (though that should be done with absolute care).
