Yeah, I seem to recall that before all this legal drama started the story was that Musk was buying Twitter to turn it into a platform for free speech. Assuming he hasn't changed his mind about that, the news cycle here is only just beginning.
Though on the positive side, I think I'll personally find a debate about free speech to be way more interesting than the current celebrity drama legal fight over contract law.

Twitter will be forced to prioritize short-term profit to recoup Musk's losses and rage-porn style engagement content will be the easiest (and likely only) way they can do it.
Twitter is about to become a private company. They won't be "forced" to do anything their new owner doesn't want them to. They won't even have to be profitable at all if that isn't what Musk wants.
More accurately - the media can't stay away from Elon. He's not out there doing PR circuits with this drama. A single tweet generates literally hundreds of articles.
There is a differencw between what he posted here and getting on Twitter during every crisis to say you're going to personally solve it with a submarine, guarantee a fix to the Flint water situation, etc. One is obviously seeking media attention and positive PR.
It isn't worth engaging with someone as soon as they mention submarine, ventilators, Flint, or the other various dumb talking points these people love. They're beyond help and don't care about reality, they just love calling the richest person on the planet an idiot.
Though on the positive side, I think I'll personally find a debate about free speech to be way more interesting than the current celebrity drama legal fight over contract law.
