If he would just shut up and step back from active interference in the discourse, he could plausibly claim he is only making decisions on the basis of his love of free speech. It's the hypocrisy that gives him the lie. He doesn't want the free exchange of ideas, he wants his ideas to be reinforced by the algorithms and behavior of his sycophants.

The odd part though is I cannot imagine any company advertising on Twitter now, I doubt Only Fans and Porn Hub would see it as a moral or economically viable platform for sales right now, let alone any kind of mainstream company, and it's not just my feed, I thought it might be something I was doing but lots of users are reporting the same thing, endless violence and snuff clips and general weirdness, this is going to be a really really quick death spiral for the company which leaves Musk just paying billions and billions a year or closing it down
