I guess the solution would be tying your identify to your account. If you do something illegal then you can be held accountable. The problem is, how many of twitters users would vanish if they suddenly needed to be identifiable?

I assume you don’t mean ‘you can have free speech absolutism by making it easier to have real life consequences for saying the wrong thing’

Failure of a business can still occur with legal speech, like racism. How would tying your identity to an account help in that situation?

Depends on your jurisdiction. Racist is certainly not legal in the UK and people have been prosecuted for tweeting racist messages.
