His profile was already high, he didn't need to buy Twitter for that.
It's clear that Twitter was run by, shall we say, left leaning people, and that they summarily banned / shadow banned mainly right leaning people even though they were on the record for saying they didn't do that.
Twitter were also quite happy for hate speech and death threats against the likes of JK Rowling to go on, on a daily basis.
I think what Elon is doing is great, and the fact that he's upsetting lots of people (like Ian) whilst doing it, so much the better.
