    Thats the end of all business news then. All businesses are owned by people, we should stop caring about what the owners do with their assets.

    Pretty silly thing to suggest because this isnt musk with a new mansion or other toy that wont affect anyone. The whole point is that there are advertisers who will spend, outsiders who care because of the platform’s influence and tons of users who would want to know of changes.

        That isnt true, there have been issues where things have changed after controversy and press. Recently, twitter imposed a 5s delay on links to some websites like NYT, Threads and a few others (source) and some time ago blocked mentioning accounts on other social media sites (source).

        Even if Musk generally didnt care, the intention in posting might be to keep up with changes for the reasons I mentioned in my previous comment, not to get him to change.
