Although I'm heavily invested in Tsla, I don't hold back against Musk when I think criticism is due. He is an ego driven guy whose need for attention leads him to make questionable decisions, like building a factory in the middle of Germany's auto manufacturing mecca, where union labor and governments have been sleeping with each other for many decades (figuratively and literally).
Buying and privatizing Twitter will be a double edge sword, as demonstrated by Tsla’s deep drop reflecting uncertainty about the purchase.
The complexity of managing the global public square is froth with all sorts of risks, the first of which will be the inability to satisfy all, and by consequence affect Tsla stock price and his other businesses when they go public. That is inescapable.
Surely, forcing real identity to tweet (like required in Europe) will be a major improvement. Many on all sides of the political spectrum will cancel their accounts rather than be outed. That's fine and maybe some civility will return to the square. Anyone should be able to express their opinion, however distasteful, as long as they own up to it.
But Musk will face greater complexities, such as government mandated oversight and/or curbs on speech, as seen in dictatorships around the world. When his decisions about Twitter begin to affect his other businesses negatively, he will have stockholders to answer to and may find that he chewed more than expected.
