"The new Musk-run Twitter will likely develop much more robust internal technical controls, along with Elon’s refined eye on the numbers and cash."
I'll take the other side of this bet, assuming that any policies remain post-Elon to enforce. From what I've seen thus far, Elon was eager to purge anyone from the company that had expertise in these matters and despite happy talk about controls, just ends up being the arbiter himself. His own proposal for a content moderation council didn't make it out of the planning stages before being exposed as phony[1].
I wish Elon good fortune in rescuing Twitter from the mess he inflicted on it, but won't be holding my breath.
I guess I'm just paranoid and pessimistic. I spent too many years earning a living by thinking about what could go wrong. I still do that but I'm beyond the point of doing much about it.
