I'm not sure I'd agree with the OP, mainly because it's still seems too early to judge the actions of Musk and his team. They're just starting to figure out how the heck they're going to turn around Twitter into a sustainable business -- not exactly an easy task! Everything Twitter does is surely up-for-internal-debate currently. I'd wait to pass judgment until things start stabilizing.

That said, I find the definition of conservatism quoted by the OP insightful: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." The opposite of that is clearly worthwhile: We want laws that protect everyone because they bind everyone.
