Depends how he spins it and how much he will be able to control narrative.

I guess he will use something like - Twitter was broken before I got in and I could not save it anymore.

Being Elon, I would be more worried about the fact that Saudi's are supposed to be as one of the investors in Twitter and they already have trace of killing people. If Elon won't be able to spin the story as somebody's else problem and instead of it will be presented as his managing failure, well could be interesting.
