And in case anyone is wondering who @jack is... That's Jack Dorsey, who cofounded Twitter and founded Bluesky, whose wish to get rid of all intellectual property law Musk is agreeing with.

Because those IP laws and copyrights are getting in the way of the tech robber barons exploiting all that work others have done, they're asking for either a special exemption from those laws for training and operating AI (as OpenAI and Google did recently), or - in this case - getting rid of IP laws completely.
