Can it really get any worse than it already is? On the same note, has Elon actually stated a single concrete change that he would make? I think the reality is that for the vast majority of users, Twitter won't change a bit.

He has alluded to making private messages end to end encrypted.

Maybe not concrete but this feels like a clear policy preference:

  Suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 26, 2022
A Twitter that agrees with "obviously incredibly inappropriate" here would be a significant change.

and for the others... who wants legitimate truthful stories blocked? what does that say about them?

Elon musk has complained that Twitter is trying to stop disinformation and label propaganda. He thinks that fighting for truth is anti-free speech. So yes, it can get worse

That's a gross mischaracterisation. Twitter isn't trying to stop misinformation: it's labelling anything that doesn't agree with certain viewpoints as misinformation and trying to stop that.
