Sure, he could do all those things you list, but I have no idea why anyone would expect him specifically to be able to do it while no one else could.

Just a couple examples:

>gets comedians and entertaining accounts back on board

Musk's personality and actions turn off many of these people. It will much harder for Musk to get these people back than it would be for a publicly traded company.

>lets people say what they want instead a bot army of shills repeating verbatim over and over and over

Musk himself controls an army of shills who attack anyone who disagrees with him. It has now become common for people criticizing him to stop using his name because some of his fans will search Twitter for anyone talking about him in order to aggressively defend him. Why would we expect him to work to stop shills site wide when he has put no effort into stopping his fans from exhibiting this same behavior?
