Elon Musk buying Twitter could change things for the better. But as the exchange above shows, it could also change things for the worse.
Right-wing Twitter is great because of anonymity. Take that away and it loses its magic.
I wrote about the importance of anonymity here recently: https://theamericansun.com/2022/04/13/in-defense-of-anonymity/

Also, bear in mind that woke management is but one factor in the sorry state of big tech and the private sector overall. Civil rights law and other pressure from the state, media, NGOs, etc. is arguably more significant. If Elon attempted to improve Twitter, he might not even be able to.
Nevertheless, so long as Elon doesn’t do away with anonymity on the platform and actually protects against unjust suspensions, it’s worth a shot.

Manipulating procedural outcomes applies to attempted hostile takeovers. Who knew.

This is a good point. Challenging power activates its immune response. If you don't win, the institution in question often winds up with an excuse to seize further power.
In this instance, a failed attempt by Elon Musk could actually make the platform double down on bad policies and make it harder for someone else to successfully attempt something similar in the future.

As I said in chat earlier, this Musk stuff performative until action is taken. I doubt a man who gives no loyalty or care about the nation he was born in is going to care for me or anyone else.
If something improves, cool, if not, then be prepared, because when rogue elites don't cross the Rubicon the consequences are never good.

"Elaborate on that."
"No."

Elon Buys Twitter
In my latest SubscribeStar piece I offer some preliminary thoughts on the recent news. While it's a positive development, Elon Musk still has to battle the most powerful institutions in the country if he wants to make Twitter a free speech platform—the battle is far from over.
