He can do what he likes, but he remains open for criticism for those actions (in particular when the hypocrisy is self-evident).

Why do people feel the need to respond to valid criticism with "well technically they're ALLOWED to do [thing]?" That's neither here nor there.

We'll, technically his company is under a consent decree and that makes a lot of what twitter changes including internal processes under the FTCs mandate, so no Elon can't just do what he wants to and expect no legal repercussions.

Unfortunately, people often struggle with the difference between "can" and "should"...
