Unfounded hope of course: no one who has, or had, monetary interest in the success of Twitter would or would have gained from transparency.
Twitter is a public company, and may be a digital public square, but it does not have the public good as a rewardable goal.
- xupybd 4y agoI had thought, and still suspect, that the Twitter purchase might be a vanity project for Musk. As such his motives are a little harder to reason about than pure profit. While it might not have public good as a goal, I think that having Musk appear as a public hero of freedom might be a goal.
