Anything I've heard or read Musk say about Twitter longer than a tweet seems to be positive from my perspective. The two themes I hear are the idea that it's a "town square" and that this form of communication is crucial for society. To me this seems like trying to go against the belief/conversation bubbles present by default on other social platforms. There are other aspects that will have to be dealt with such as how to monetize it to satisfy the private investors, or how it might be misused for other purposes. These other aspects don't have to negate the first primary goals but rather find a way to co-exist. I can't tell if the detractors (a) don't believe the stated motivations, (b) don't trust it will be done well, (c) have various other complaints/beefs that outweigh the positives. I find it hard to argue that Musk won't execute well given Tesla and SpaceX as priors.
