Really what else do people want to happen here? Musk can now do what he wants with it.
There in lies the essence of the problem. One man, due to his huge personal wealth, can dictate the policy of a platform used by millions of people the world over. That is the definition of the exact opposite of free speech. Pandering to the whims & diktats of a preening narcissist will only lead to trouble.
