I had to think a minute, but I agree with you. Lots of unmoderated free speech will make Twitter worse for ordinary folks, who don't want to be spammed with ads, but also an assortment of porn, aggressive politics bot and weirdos.

Are we talking about the same website here? Because twitter has been full of this for many years. Maybe you just don't notice it because the content in question is politically agreeable to you.

There has never been a point on twitter where you couldn't repeatedly accuse a person of sucking Putin's cock after every single tweet they made, and no point when you had to attempt at all to conceal your association with organized, named groups who coordinate this outside of twitter.
That being said, Musk relies on government contracts and subsidy for almost every aspect of his empire, so I don't see any changes coming.

The "ergonomics" and incentives of Twitter do seem to encourage all-or-nothing, ignoring or dogpiling, on something. See the "Main Character of the Day" phenomenon.
