I don't know, really. You may be right but he's smart and very familiar with Twitter practices so despite the apparent no self-restraint, maybe he knows how to stay on the edge?
So I guess we'll see if the tone of his tweets changes when he's really in possession of Twitter. We'll know then for sure.
He certainly gets in trouble with the SEC for what he says on Twitter, but buying Twitter won't fix that.
Perhaps he's been self-censoring, though it seems unlikely to me. I can't imagine what he feels he can't say without getting banned, but is nonetheless legal. He doesn't seem to think all that much before he opens his virtual mouth and inserts his virtual foot.
