Having a social media platform that doesn’t rely on censorship to resolve the cesspit problem.
Unfortunately, people are more than happy to back censorship if it’s against ideas they dislike.

How exactly do you resolve the cesspit problem without censorship? It seems pretty much mandatory to engage in some level of censorship to avoid it. The only way to remove the most toxic people is to restrict their toxic behavior.

I think his idea was to reduce visibility of harmful content (like exclude it from the algorithm, or maybe just penalize it heavily) while not outright banning it.
But even if that doesn’t work it doesn’t mean censorship is the only solution. Just because we don’t have a good idea doesn’t mean nobody will.

He’s got a funny way of accomplishing that goal. So funny that it looks like his goal is exactly the opposite. GENIUS!

You can’t coherently convey whatever you think Elon was on about because, whatever he was on about, was complete bullshit designed to make him look smart to the people dumb enough to buy it.
