Sure, there is some element of disaster voyeurism to observing Twitter right now, and a lot of people surely do have vested interests (for any other medium, Twitter is a competitor for ad revenue, tech employees might be concerned that the layoffs might serve as an example,...) - but that concern was genuine as far as I can say. It's not my base case, but it is something I'd be concerned about if I was one of Musk's co-investors. Disabling media wouldn't tackle nearly all the problems that a broken monitoring system could create, but you're right that it might demonstrate enough effort so that it's legally sane to keep the site up until you can fix it.
