Twitter has long been beset with problems, but it still is the worlds single largest megaphone.
Now, instead of operating under TOS rules, or any recognizable and consistent means of content regulation, it is run by, quite literally, the ever-changing whim of a thin skinned wealthy person.
Elon knows he now owns the world’s largest megaphone, and claims to be about “free speech” while he clearly is not. He also appears to be very unpredictable about what context he will allow or not allow, if a user pisses him off, he’s banned.
Now, Twitter is privately owned. Just as it was pre-Musk. But it still falls under certain laws regarding data protection and privacy. Musk either doesn’t take it seriously or has fired most of the people who were charged with that job. I think both are true and have created an incredibly dangerous situation.
Many journalists and pro-Democracy activists use Twitter and work in countries that are very authoritarian and dangerous. Any releasing of private data to these governments or the general public or for profit or for political reasons, could mean imprisonment or death.
Elon is also using his outsized megaphone, to effectively dox or incite mobs on people who piss him off.

On Wednesday, Twitter chief Elon Musk banned accounts he said he never would in order to protect free speech, made up new rules to justify it, threatened legal action against a 20-year-old, pontificated on how doxing is banned on the platform, and then immediately posted a video doxing a man and asked his 121 million followers to identify him.
Musk then took to his personal account to launch a PR offensive. He said in a tweet, "Any account doxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation," but that "posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis" will be allowed. He then went on to claim that a "crazy stalker" in LA had blocked a car carrying his child, X, and jumped on the hood. He posted a video of an unknown man and asked his 121 million followers if anyone recognized the car or the person driving it.
In the video, the masked man is sitting in a car and appears to say, "I'm not…" while an unknown man films and replies, "Yep, pretty sure." The man in the car takes out his own phone and films back, asking, "What's your name?" The camera pans around to put his license plate in view.
"Anyone recognize this person or car?" Musk tweeted, offering no further context.
It was a stunning, and disturbing, moment. The richest man in the world asking his millions of rabid fans to identify an individual—versus, say, going to the police—is reckless, and possibly dangerous, behavior. It aso flies in the face of his anti-doxing stance, even if it technically conforms to the new "delayed locations only" rule. Twitter also bans sharing video of private individuals, with the caveat that it could be newsworthy or relevant to public discourse on important topics. The video Musk shared is clearly neither, but he is the boss now, and nobody is going to tell him otherwise.

Feel free to add more examples of Musk’s nuttery. He isn’t yet God so it can’t be labeled heresy.
Musk’s false tweets against a former employee have fired up his followers and put lives at risk.
sports.yahoo.com
A former head of trust and safety at Twitter was reportedly forced to flee his home over threats he received after CEO Elon Musk baselessly accused him of supporting online child sexualization.
Yoel Roth and his family members went into hiding to escape the ire of an internet mob, both The Washington Post and CNN reported Monday, citing people familiar with Roth’s situation.
The vitriol followed Musk misrepresenting Roth’s past Ph.D. thesis in a tweet Saturday, telling his 121 million followers, “Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services.”
Contrary to the CEO’s claim, Roth had argued in his thesis ― an excerpt of which was shared by Musk ― that more safeguards should be added to hookup sites like Grindr to protect young adults who will inevitably access and use them.

It's business as usual.
It took you two stupid posts to come to that conclusion?
ALL OF A SUDDEN you care so much about the LAW on stifling free speech? You're a 1st class idiot.
He's no worse than anyone else who's ever been in charge at Twitter.
THEY are THE WEALTHY......YOU are not

Apparently you don’t read well (if at all). I support a certain amount of content regulation, and always have. I also support the rights of private companies to determine what is and is not ok under their ToS.
Where we part ways is when it becomes to people. Pre-Musk Twitter had insufficient safe guards to prevent direct and real harrassment and violence against people. One example being what has happened to election and poll workers forced to go into hiding or move to protect their families.
The difference now is that you have a single person actively encouraging this rather than a failure of rules.
No…he is worse.He's no worse than anyone else who's ever been in charge at Twitter.

He’s been banning all over the place out of peeve. How is that opening up to dissenting opinion? It is his right as owner, but don’t pretend it is anything other than personal impulsive temper.
