Cynically speaking : Twitter is a useful tool for broadcasting the ruling class' narrative and pass it off as the mainstream one - as long as this function is not too apparent. Yielding to Musk's requests would be a clever way for the platform to regain some credit with non-elites and unbelievers.

Musk is a multi billionaire whose companies reap billions in government subsidies. He is a part of the ruling class.

Precisely. I don't think he intend to rock the boat too deeply - just enough to appear to stick to his personal brand.

I am cautiously optimistic of this deal, but the cynic in me also thinks that the same broadcasting of the ruling class' narrative will continue, now under the guise of "Elon defeated the bad guys". Same hands, different puppet.
