"Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission," Musk said....
Hmmmmm. That seems to fly in the face of the whole freedom of speech thing. Like, it is diametrically opposed to giving people freedom of speech.
Because freedom of speech means the freedom to lie, to misrepresent, to say things that you think or believe are true, but that are not actually true. It means the freedom to say bad things about people or groups you do not like (regardless of the accuracy of what you say).
Keeping things accurate (and exactly what does that mean anyway) demands a high level of content moderation and clear standards.
Real easy to just say you want freedom of speech and accurate information. I don't bet much, but if there was a place to bet against him pulling it off, I'd put some money down.

That would be such a sure bet that nobody would give you good enough odds to make it.
