Not for anyone. Not for Twitter, not for the public, not for the world, and not for Musk himself.

5 Worse, 1 Same so far.

This sadly would probably end up being worse than all those Twitter lynch mobs which have gained too much traction.

Anyone thinking Elon is for free speech is laughable. He's a fragile piece of shit who has multiple times gone after people for simply talking negatively about Tesla/etc.

Given his track record, I would say probably not much significant change despite all his blustering. But its certainly possible for him to turn it into more of a train wreck than it already is.

Racist are already on there and almost never get checked. So all that would change is the service would be worse and more racist would be there. what is the upside.

But at least people can cuss out Musk every day and can't get banned.

Nope, and we don't have laws to punish Musk for misinformation so it's going to be pretty dangerous too.

I don't give a flapping dog shit about American domestic politics (you're all the same, in the end), but I do fear that he'll shut down those who oppose the CCP and point out their malevolence (since he's perfectly willing to shill for them if it gets him those wumao $$$).
It is, as some admiral once said, a trap.

I don't like Musk so Twitter will be worse because of that.

The dude is extremely thin-skinned. He'll likely ban anyone who so much as even says anything negative about him.
