It's gotten awfully quiet in here after that post!
Not really sure what you mean? It will be months before this deal is consummated and even then only Mr. Musk knows what, if any, operational changes he might make to the platform. Thus the question mark at the end of the title to this thread.
He has stated that he will 'balance the scales' of 'free speech' on Twitter. We shall see.

Perhaps if you broadened your horizons a bit you'd have a better grasp of the issue.

I previously wrote about Hillary Clinton’s call on European countries to pass censorship laws after Musk’s pledge to restore free speech to Twitter. Now the Parliament has called for Musk to testify and explain his alarming pledge to restore free speech." https://twitter.com/JonathanTurley/s...99901760888842
"May 6 (Reuters) - Elon Musk and Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) were sued on Friday by a Florida pension fund seeking to stop Musk from completing his $44 billion takeover of the social media company before 2025." https://www.reuters.com/business/mus...er-2022-05-06/
'Russian space chief Dmitry Rogozin has apparently threatened Elon Musk, but the SpaceX founder and CEO doesn't seem too bothered.
On Sunday (May 8), Musk posted on Twitter a note that he said Rogozin, the head of Russia's federal space agency Roscosmos, had sent out to Russian media. The note claimed that equipment for SpaceX's Starlink satellite-internet system had been delivered to Ukrainian marines and "militants of the Nazi Azov battalion" by the U.S. military.
"Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment," Rogozin wrote, according to an English translation that Musk posted. (He also tweeted out a Russian version.) "And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult — no matter how much you'll play the fool."' https://www.space.com/russian-space-...tens-elon-musk
Just because he's a moron is no reason to ban him from Twitter. After all, many Twitter users are morons.
Twitter doesn't have a monopoly on moronic behavior. I've seen dubious behavior on every platform in which I've ever participated, including this one. No?
