We need laws against business owners that frivolously run their business into the ground and damage others’ without retaining any liability beyond the business’ death.
Isn’t he being sued by Tesla shareholders for literally that?
They have a civil suit against him, but that kind of lawsuit is almost never successful (edit: at pinning liability onto the business owner - I’m saying liability will probably only fall to Twitter and not Musk personally /edit). Twitter is still a limited liability company, and now that it is privately owned its owners are free to run it into the ground - they don’t have an obligation to shareholders.
Private businesses should be free to do this, but this was a publicly traded company turned private, so arguably there should be solid protections in law that make this wrong rather than the only option being a difficult civil lawsuit.
It’s a private business, Musk can do whatever he wants with the site so long as it isn’t illegal and whoever helped him raise the cash doesn’t mind.
We have it, it’s called “Piercing the corporate veil.” Twitter being a California company should make it easier.
