At the Daily Wire they are reporting that, self proclaimed free speech advocate, Elon Musk has a back up plan.
Twitter is famous for banning conservative voices, for having serious issues with double standards that allow liberals to say things that conservatives are forbidden from saying. They also have a habit of promoting certain voices while "shadow banning" tweets from some conservatives. Shadow bans don't actually censor the speech, but they can dramatically reduce distribution of some content, typically from conservative speakers.
Musk's actions may have a huge impact on other companies as well. Should Musk take over Twitter and open up its platform it is possible that other social media platforms like PARLOR could become unnecessary and go out of business.

Musk Reveals During TED Talk That ‘There Is’ A ‘Plan B’ If Twitter Rejects His Offer To Buy The Company
Ryan SaavedraApr 14, 2022
Elon Musk revealed during a TED Talk on Thursday afternoon that he has a backup plan if Twitter rejects his bid to buy the company.
“If in this case you are not successful in that the board does not accept your offer, you’ve said you won’t go higher, is there a plan B?” Musk was asked.
“There is,” Musk responded while smiling.
When asked what his backup plan is, Musk said he would discuss that at another time.
“I think it’s very important for there to be an inclusive arena for free speech,” Musk said during the event. “Twitter has become kind of the de facto town square, so it’s really important that people have both the reality and perception that they’re able to speak freely within the bounds of the law.”
. . .
“It’s important to the function of democracy, it’s important to the function of the United States as a free country and many other countries, and to help freedom in the world more broadly than in the U.S.,” Musk said. “Civilizational risk is decreased the more we can increase the trust of Twitter as a public platform, and so I do think this will be somewhat painful.”
“My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization,” Musk said. “I don’t care about the economics at all.”

Musk added that a good sign as to whether or not free speech exists is if someone is allowed to say something that you do not like.
