I don't think that the biggest benefits that Musk is bringing are technical ones, although he can surely afford to mobilize a lot of technical power, but policy ideas. Twitter will be run differently, become less toxic, and hopefully in addition to that game-changing attitude the bot problem can be addressed as well. I don't see how it can get worse, but there's a lot of potential for it to get better. Who knows? I might actually start using it.

While I'm an optimist in real life, unfortunately I don't have much reason to believe anything will improve, particularly due to Musk. He is hardly the most reasonable or grounded person. (Mind you, as a twitter user I do hope it improves.)

Overnight it’ll become less toxic because he’ll “run it differently”? I’m skeptical.

How do you reckon he’ll do that?

I think one of his strongest skills is recruiting young engineers who are ready to work harder for him than they should for less pay than they could get elsewhere.
