You get to pick winners AND be protected by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act from liability for anything said on the platform.
Stockholder privacy is protected by law; they could be Russian, Saudi, Chinese, North Korean crypto-currency hackers; CIA; friends of friends, mom and pop, whomever.
X algorithms and work practices are protected by trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, and binding arbitration.
Even superpower-nation security services are deeply dependent on the willing participation of the telecommunications industry. They would be blind to a unwilling provider, particularly one with their own worldwide network.
Don't blame Elon Musk. We built this system. "If you build it, they will come."
(Edit: I acknowledge the downvote and normally delete if/since judged not helpful. But I would appreciate it if the flaws were pointed out explicitly: a category mistake in ascribing personal responsibility for collective effects? assuming the worst, or fear-mongering? just hyperventilating? I honestly don't want to waste anyone's time. I thought pointing out that legal protections necessary for companies could be so abused would stimulate the policy-minded.)

Either you're a common carrier (and protected as such) or you're editorializing. Unfortunately the enforcement seems to be lacking more and more, and that even without considering that Musk is probably not subject to any enforcement these days.
