I cannot think that Elon Musk owning/controlling Twitter will go even half the way he expects. He clearly only sees it as a potential platform for disseminating his opinions, which have regularly been wrong when it came to things like the pandemic. He's a potentially dangerous egomaniac and if he is allowed to own Twitter the best case scenario is that Twitter experiences a mass user exodus, worst case it turns into a social media platform for crazy nonsense like Newsmax and OAN. Sure, it could just turn into a Fox News equivalent, but that's barely better.

He wants to make the Twitter algorithm open source. Complete transparency whether something is demoted or promoted.

Anything but is terrifying. The current status quo of few SF algorithmists controlling the world is far worse than putting up with Elon's bs.

Both of your cases seem quite implausible to me. Sounds like cynical wishful thinking.
