I strongly suspect that the New Twitter will fairly rapidly turn into the world's biggest toxic waste-dump fire - when everyone on Gab, Parler etc. piles back in along with Trump and his associates. Perfect timing for the US mid-terms. I can't see how they'll be able to keep a lid on it as a functioning community and live up to Musk's publicly-stated ambitions.
Even so, it might be a commercial success if they can keep the advertisers on board. But if mainstream advertisers panic and pull out then they're going to have push a lot of gun/porn/crypto/whatever ads to keep the lights on. And that may work, or it may turn into the biggest act of wealth destruction in history.
I wonder how much of Musk's $23B Tesla bonus is going into the purchase.
