Musk's Twitter reinstatement of Trump and others is a side show compared to the larger issues now facing Twitter. Since taking over the company, Musk has fired over half of Twitter employees and emptied key departments, only to partially reverse himself almost instantly. Other than make Twitter into the "app for everything," Musk has announced no direction for the company. He got rid of the board of directors the first day he took over, leaving himself as the sole decision maker. He walked into Twitter headquarters carrying a sink for some unknown reason. Most recently, he made demands of the workforce that prompted more to quit. And all this is happening after bizarre behavior of buying the company for far more than it was worth, suing to get out of the deal, and then proceeding with the deal. His Twitter posts since acquiring the company have been cryptic and nonsensical (at least to me).
I'd like to think Musk, who has accomplished amazing things with other companies (Tesla, SpaceX) will do something good for Twitter. But for now, it's a challenge to see any rhyme or reason to what he's doing for the company he recently acquired. Musk is a pioneer and original thinker. I don't think he's nuts or has lost it. But his Twitter actions to date are perplexing.
Regarding Trump, he has said he will stay off Twitter and on Truth Social. Time will tell if he remains true to his word (not exactly a safe bet based on his record).
