The US does not have laws requiring moderation except for illegal content (like child porn) and DMCA takedowns.
Most platforms fail miserably at removing the former and just automate the latter. Twitter could spend a small fraction of their current moderation budget and still be in compliance with US law.

Of course Twitter is free to leave those markets at any time but I don't think other shareholders besides Musk would appreciate that. Even in America, some brands were not that interested appearing next to fringe/extreme (though legal) content. And advertisers are the real customers of Twitter and all social media after all.
