I think Musk might just make it public again, or turn it into a nonprofit.

True, I'm going a little out on a limb here but IMHO makes total sense.

Since Twitter is - in Musk's words - the “de facto public town square” - it doesn't make sense for it to be a private company at all (which is much less open to outside scrutiny and/or criticisms).

Which is kind of an oxymoron given the fact that the changes he supposedly wants to implement will only be possible if he takes it private.

All of this leads me to believe he might just implement the changes he wants and promptly go public again, keeping control of the board or as CEO (prob also at a much higher eval). This, or maybe he'll turn it into a nonprofit.

I honestly don't see how being publicly owned—i.e. beholden to the profit motive—is anything other than objectively worse for a "de facto public town square".

Twitter is addicted to engagement. Solving for this in the long term cannot be squared with modern capitalism.
