I'm sure Elon is aware of this, but he should be prepared to deal with those who oppose freedom, and who flood platforms that do not restrict speech with the most disgusting, degenerate, awful, things possible. There are ways of managing this, but it will turn decent people away. It would be challenging to tolerate them on your own platform, and it is undesirable to use these platforms if you don't have to. There's the rub. The vast majority of, let's call it "communication", on the web is noise. The next largest portion is nonsense. We get all manner of stuff that is unimportant, and then we get the tiny percentage that is stuff that matters, or would matter, if anyone could find it.
The chicken and egg at the center of hope for humanity is the protection of free speech, and right to bear arms. One protects the other, and they both protect everything else.
We have an incredible need for truth, and for insight into what the world's most dangerous people are doing, while virtually all programming is intended to leave people disinterested in the info and condemning of the messengers.
There is a tactic that has not been used against the enemies of humanity, and their flooding any signal with noise..
Every individual has the right to speak freely, with few exceptions. One of them that used to be taught to kids is, "but, you can't shout "FIRE" in a theater when there isn't one". In other words, we're not allowed to communicate lies with the intention of terrorism.
Every individual has freedom of "press". The liars which own "media" (and the reason why Elon is interested in Twitter, and the liars are interested in preventing it) would have you believe that they are press, and you are not... when the truth is liars are not "press", and anyone communicating the truth is.
I have no idea how it would be achieved, but anyone running a free platform these days should look into eliminating liars from it. If anything good could come from AI, it might be the elimination of those useful idiots from platforms who use and tolerate logical fallacies.. but, one step at a time.
