Just three hours after Musk declared victory by tweeting “The bird is freed,” European Commissioner Thierry Breton shot back “In Europe, the bird flies by our rules.” For years, Twitter has waged a “sophisticated battle” with the government to protect free speech online, and this battle would be at risk with Musk in charge, Goldman said.
Twitter is staffed with experts who review data requests from governments, but Musk has shown his contempt of these experts, he said.

Musk has told investors he plans to build one that will sell premium subscriptions to reduce reliance on ads, allow content creators to make money and enable payments, according to a source briefed on the matter.
