A few paragraphs down we learn that it wasn't actually Musk himself, but X Corp.
I'm not a !lawyers but this sounds totally normal.

Ask google, or facebook, or any other internet corp the same question get the exact same answer.

Don't they not want to do this though? If they own these accounts, theyre responsible for them. Which means any law-violating content that somehow makes it past filters is the responsibility of Twitter?
I keep seeing full movies posted there. Could hollywood not sue the frick out of Twitter due to that?

read the full article, it's access to services (i.e. the account) not the content posted / how the service is used. Still, Musk was posting about blocking the sale so it's not "typical"

I thought X/Twitter claimed they owned all content you published to their website.
I figure every social media company ever says the same thing, although I realllllly don't think it would hold up in court in every instance. More of a case of "write the terms to be as biased in our favor as legally possible, then make them more biased and let the courts figure it out"

this came up when reddit was restoring deleted comments in the api saga lul
they own the rights to it or something but i think it's something called section 230 that makes it so they don't have to worry about a bunch of copyright shit from people posting movie clips and etc

My non-lawyer understanding is they have a license to reproduce it, but they don't own it.
This licensing sometimes surprises people when a site exerts some rights over the content posted—by republishing it after deletion, or using it in promotional material, or charging people for access to it or whatever. But you don't relinquish all your own rights to your own content by uploading it to twitter. If you did, I'm certain large media companies like Disney would never post anything there.

As long as they take action and delete shit when brought to their attention, they should be mostly covered.
