Europe has strict defamation laws on the books that prevent the type of vitriolics of the US. Musk could very well require real IDs to sign up, with perhaps a coded handle, but nonetheless one that could tie to a real person. Many Twitter accounts are from well known individuals who have nothing to hide because they aren't spewing hatred. In the end, the goal is to remove those individuals/bots/spams whose goal is to manipulate media for specific agenda, be political or commercial.
Many people do create their social media accounts with their real name that's true but it's their choice. Once you make it mandatory to show real ID's, that becomes a different story.
Musk should STFU and stick to what he knows. He's used social media plenty enough for personal gain without real consequences - other than pedi-guy settlement. Consider himself lucky.
Give him a few years. Perhaps he'll be able to differentiate between social media content and advertising revenue. He's still papertrading, someday he'll be live and making a few bucks here and there...hopefully.
%% TRUE, only if he doesnt buy. I still think [but not long any tech\LOL] he will buy \ but based on real account numbers.
