If he runs the platform into the ground what would be the big deal? It's just a free communication tool, not the first nor the last. Look at Clubhouse, a flash in the pan.\\n\\nI don't think that the changes Musk make will result in thousands of deaths as Taylor Lorenz warns, nor do I think that it is any more a national security risk as posed by the White House, then it was before.\\n\\nWill it give people who have opinions that are repugnant a platform, probably. The Proud Boys and Russian / Ukrainian white supremacist groups have a voice on Telegram. But as a consumer I can choose to point my attention elsewhere, not to them on Twitter or Telegram.  Kanye has found the line on Twitter and crossed it.\\n\\nMy take is that Musk is changing the status quo and that makes people upset. People, corporations, and governments have invested countless dollars and their lives into a technology platform and he is changing it. Again so what? It's a private company and he can destroy it if he wants.\\n\\nPeople and corporations were angry at Facebook when it killed it's integrated news business and the legacy media suffered by not adapting.

Maybe the Twitter Files will shed some light on these decesions.  IMO from a First Amendment standpoint  this is a nothing burger.
