I can't argue with the possibility that your objections may be correct. They could be. I do think it's at least plausible that Musk believes he will make Twitter more open, but you're right: He's not above silencing critics, and when his own interests are on the line (let's say there's a massively viral tweet storm along the lines of #boycott Tesla or #shortTesla) he may very well come down on his own interests. I think it's also plausible that when his own interests aren't involved then he may not care much one way or another. (Not that I'm arguing for a completely open Twitter: I don't claim to know the best balance is, but I think there's a reasonable argument that some types of content don't belong there. Even if I really wouldn't want to be in the position of having to figure out a method & boundaries of the problem.) >Looser content policies, even if that is what actually happens, aren't opposed to being a walled garden. I don't think it's an either/or. It's a spectrum. The looser the content policies are, the less it's a walled garden.
