The only expectation that doesn't strike me as a naive howler is that the censors will have new targets, not that some altruistic, enlightened billionaire-king is going to save us poor proles.
The notion that the "good" billionaires will save us ought to be repugnant to anyone who wants to live in a free and open society.

It's undeniable that these other billionaire-kings are using their platforms to manufacture outrage against the newcomer. This suggests he is not aligned with the existing power structure.
