It appears that three of these that you listed, which are the most silencing, will no longer be used (assuming legal content): post removals, temporary bans, permanent bans. I don't understand how the new policy is "status quo", if this is true. That's a very significant change of policy.

This is not the case given that Twitter has removed posts[1] and banned accounts that were critical of Musk[2].

  Nothing that Elon said suggests that twitter will no longer issue bans or remove posts. In fact, we know that permanent bans are still in place, and he will obviously continue to do both.

    In place and just as arbitrary as ever. Just this morning someone I follow had an 18+-only alt account of theirs suspended when they blocked a minor who was following that account.
