While this might be a boon for the returning of free speech, I wonder if Musk will succeed in monetizing the platform, a task where previous CEOs failed. Also, had he waited a couple more weeks before making the offer, he could have bought Twitter for half the price. Even if he manages to make the acquisition worth, I would expect it would take at least 5 - 10 years, so it isn't the best investment he could made. It seems his impetuous and histrionic side made him act when he should allow him more time for reflection. I'm not saying he isn't capable of making Twitter a financial success, after all he has a record for stuff like that, but if I was an investor in one of his enterprises it would gave me some food for thought.
