If he wanted to? The man has his own ICBMs and a fleet of land-based remote control bombs in Tesla, not to mention access to all archived DMs on Twitter. There's no way he pulls anything off, because we don't live in a comic book, but it's worrisome to realize that such an "eccentric" visibly has that kind of access.
Hm, the remote controlled bombs angle is one I hadn't clued in to yet. The ICBM one was clear. For both you'd hope that if he tried anything like that his employees would perform a citizens arrest and hand him over to DHS.
Now you've got me worried that in the comic book villain version of reality, that he had mass drivers installed in the Starlink constellation, and is able to hit rival's private jets, but only if their flight plan gets shared on Twitter for some obscure comic book logical reason.
I'm not sure what the damage is supposed to be, in apart from to Musk and co-investors. There are enough alternatives, including Mastodon - that people will still be able to share short form content if Twitter disintegrates.

Twitter has the ability to start revolutions and change the course of the war in Ukraine by manipulating support or a lack thereof.
Just imagine the kind of damage that would ensue if for instance all of Twitters DMs became somehow public.
