Wow that's about as political as it gets.
particularly since he vocally is politically extreme, very vocally. they likely don’t want to put themselves or their work at the mercy of his extreme whims.
also, it’s we don’t even have to speculate, the current owner has been very vocal that in addition to directly joining the current administration, he plans to be even more heavily involved in influencing politics around the world.

As they point out, it’s turned into a site full of misinformation and political rhetoric, and Musk decides what’s acceptable.
So, it’ll literally be a government-run propaganda site as of that date. Precedent says the press should not touch it.
State run propaganda sites that target domestic audiences are illegal in the US, so, by law, Musk should be forced to divest, or stop operating X in the US.
Of course, I’m not holding my breath. I don’t expect any member of the Trump administration to obey the law, and I’m sure plenty of people will defend them when they do break it.
