Perhaps Musk is in his legal right to turn Twitter into a walled garden, but it certainly seems like false advertising to me after he kept describing his model as a public square. You can be a public square or a walled garden, but not both.

It is a public square in the sense that you can speak freely and not get stoned to death.

Also in a public square you’re not supposed to masquerade as another person, which what all these services are trying to do.
