BTW, he's already backtracking and stating he has not "left twitter":

"I haven't "left Twitter." I just don't want to keep using it while it's banning links to other sites. Plus given the way things are going, it seemed like a good time to learn more about Mastodon."
Expect Musk to reverse this policy, and all the people who were fine with all the even more terrible things to just hush down and return.
There's nothing to backtrack on. Go re-read the original tweet - he never said he was leaving Twitter. If that was his intention, he probably would've explicitly said so. The OP's post title is based on an incorrect assumption.
Fair enough, it's left ambiguous.
He's applying pressure/lobbying in a passive-aggressive way. Even less principled.
