There's not much he can do about it. Twitter is a private platform that can set their own standards. Also, forcing them to keep it up would be a blatant 1st Amendment violation. Part of free speech includes the right not to speak.

I've heard the arguments that Twitter should be considered a public utility, but I don't think you can make a convincing case. The Fediverse is a viable and growing alternative to Twitter. So is Gab, and Parler.

So what exactly do you think he's supposed to do about it?

The private platform thing is ridiculous though when money is monopolized, A few weeks ago a patreon competitor called newproject2 had to shut down, its creator made the site to have a backup for his own patreon and also to offer a place for people who got banned from patreon but were not breaking any laws to go to process payments.

First the banks cancelled his payment processing for no reason and cited TOS violation as the reason.

So he found a new bank to do payments with and instead he was added to the MATCH list which is a global blacklist for financial crimes, we was unable to get a reason for why he was added and there is no way to get removed from this list.

So yeah good luck ever trying to start an alternative to these "private companies"

This is sad but profoundly important news. Has it been posted? This illustrates the stranglehold of the corporatocracy and their banksters.
