The point of reducing moderation is to allow the bad actors back in. Musk has been very vocal about supporting all speech regardless of impact.

That may be one of the effects of reducing moderation, but not necessarily the only one.

It may also reduce chilling effects on good actors. Some speech may be worth sharing but may not currently be shared because of those effects.

It is naive to not believe that would happen, so much so that it must be the point.
