That's a remarkably dystopian take. Also, what about Elon's supposed commitment to free speech? Is criticism not speech?
Note: I'm not talking about free speech in the context of the first amendment, as that does not apply to private entities, obviously. I'm talking in the more broad sense, as in one should not be punished for speech, which is what I interpret Elon's take on it as.
That would be the same Elon who made parody a bannable offence immediately after people started getting blue checkmarks on accounts making fun of him :D
He doesn't care about free speech or Twitter, this is just a way for him to insert himself into the zeitgeist yet again, and throw around whatever engineering mastery he thinks he has.

Twitter has banned and unverified people who impersonate others without making it clear for years. Musk didn’t initiate this.
