Sure, because Twitter'll show it to you anyways.

Trending topics, your friend liked/replied to this, your friend follows this person, we think you'll like this tweet... all of these things show up in your Twitter timeline now, without having followed any of the people they're showing you.

I mentioned this in another reply but maybe taking Twitter private enables Musk to make changes to the timeline that hurt profit (ad sales) but produce a better community or "public square". If you don't have to answer to a stock price then options open up.
