I think it was a forced buyout on Musk's part, so Jack Dorsey didn't really have a say in it (beyond listing it on the stock market which... Eh, I guess you could blame him for that). According to wikipedia, he doesn't seem to own any part of it now.

But anyway, it's federated so I guess that should limit the damage done by any shenanigans.

How would that limit anything? If the company changes their mind - like Twitter did with a lot of things, especially the API access - they just change the code and make your instance incompatible.

I mean, you've always got that risk. Even on Mastodon, a big instance can kill smaller ones by defederating with them. Or Mastodon.social could just decide to implement extensions that are hard for other instances to use.
