Rather than actually repealing that protection, the threat of that repeal may be used to pressure Musk to moderate Twitter.Musk would then just threaten to do for Twitter what he threatened to do for Tesla, and take it offshore!
I suspect the USA is so paranoid about losing the appearance of control over this techno stuff they'll fold like a house of cards, like they did when he threatened to move all of Tesla to China! The USA makes a big noise, but it is only about 8% of the affluent global market, or 3% of the global population, the global population is probably more important to Twitter than the affluence level.
I've also heard Musk will initiate some sort of paid version that is Ad limited or Ad free, and extend the current Ad supported model for the free versions. I note Microsoft has recently had a lot of success doing something similar for LinkedIn.
