I respectfully disagree. I think Musk's presence, after he removes the bots and censors, will make Twitter a much more stable platform. I mean, there's a reason why he's the richest guy in the world.Elon Musk's reputation as a business builder is encouraging, but I would be concerned that sometimes he is like a loose cannon, and might change direction very suddenly.
Should that happen, a lot of work put into building a presence on Twitter could vanish.

Any ANY TIME you rely on another platform, or SaaS, or supplier, for your business, you're on shaky ground. Unless you create and own the software yourself, it's always thin ice.
Case in point: a few years ago, our agency used a reputation management SaaS to help our clients get reviews. It was too good to be true - $199/mo for up to 50 accounts. After a couple hundred accounts, the developer sold the project for megabucks and the new owners turned it into $hiite. We had to scramble to find a replacement, which we never did, at a similar pricepoint.
Another example: There was a video creation app (Vidnami) that allowed me to crank out short videos for client SEO and quickly syndicate them for massive traffic gains. One day, they announced they were selling to GoDaddy. In 60 days, they were gone.
I'm going to jump back into Twitter with both feet, now that they're going to run their business like adults.
The RIGHT way to do social media is to make the contact / get the lead and quickly move them to your own email list, forum (like this one), or website that you own/control.
I just had another thought - if the cancel bots decide they don't like you, they'll find a way to cancel you. Remember Parler? Amazon pulled the rug out from under their AWS hosting because they didn't like the content.
