Cynically speaking : Twitter is a useful tool for broadcasting the ruling class' narrative and pass it off as the mainstream one - as long as this function is not too apparent. Yielding to Musk's requests would be a clever way for the platform to regain some credit with non-elites and unbelievers.

- tck42 4y agoMusk is a multi billionaire whose companies reap billions in government subsidies. He is a part of the ruling class.
- Ialdaboth 4y agoPrecisely. I don't think he intend to rock the boat too deeply - just enough to appear to stick to his personal brand.
