The changes people are afraid of are Musk bringing back Trump and Alex Jones to the platform. Making Twitter more like 4chan and Bitchute in the name of free speech absolutism will turn it into a fringe place that drives people away.

This.

Also, Twitter isn't a place for regular users. Other platforms go out of their way to make content go viral. The only content that goes viral on Twitter are posts from accounts that are already popular. Musk sees more value in Twitter than the average user because it's his microphone to his bootlickers.

That much won't change. In fact it will be extended to people who demonstratably don't deserve to have a soap box.

Trump would be a big moneymaker for Twitter.

I don't think he would have much effect on their bottom line, but looser moderation in general would drive more users away than it would attract.
