So what's next? Will Musk keep Twitter as is, or will he burn it down, fire all its employees,and rebuild it from the ground up? Conveniently, Musk's Twitter-linked text messages, publicly released as part of the Twitter lawsuit legal disclosure, provide enough information for what Musk really wants in terms of a final product.

First, as stated in the following exchange with Valor CEO Antonio Gracias, Musk believes in free speech. So much so that he finds Russia Today "quite entertaining" with "lots of bullshit but some good points too."

Musk expressed similar sentiment in the following exchange with ex-wife Talulah Jane (TJ) Riley, who was dismayed at the Babylon Bee's suspension and who proposed to "buy Twitter and make it radically free speech"... or "delete it."

Musk then speaks to VC entrepreneur Jon Lonsdale, where they discuss Musk's desire to make Twitter an open source algo because it's important to "reign in big tech" and "our public square needs to not have arbitrary sketch censorship." Musk's response: "what we have right now is hidden corruption!"
