How is that a problem?

It's his money to lose if advertisers all bail.

And Musk likes his money as well as Tesla, SpaceX etc.

So when it comes to the choice between that and allowing unfettered free speech I am quite sure he is going to choose the former.

So either way it's not a problem for the vast majority of users.
I think so too. He will have to rehire all those content moderators that he is currently firing to keep the ad base alive. He will have to have people monitor and delete Trump and Kanye tweets when they come back online as well as probably 90% of whatever Alex Jones posts but I think he will stop short of closing their accounts; maybe he will have to block them for EU countries I would guess, because that's the law. I don't know how EU could force anything beyond that.
