If that reinstated Twitter user posts CSAM again, Twitter is at risk of prosecution; if an individual manager or director can be identified as being directly responsible for that decision, they are in the frame for charges carrying a double-digit prison sentence.
I am not qualified to offer a legal opinion, and a registered Solicitor, Barrister (or US attorney) may well disagree: but they would definitely warn an individual in that position to seek legal advice immediately.
As indeed would I.
I trust that Elon Musk would do the same, and I look forward to reading that he has taken steps to distance 'X' from that decision at Twitter.

Elon Musk is a towering figure of rectitude, compassion, moral courage and ethical rigour who is transforming society with his commercial perspicacity and visionary leadership.
This magnificent exemplar of of the Classical Virtues would surely never tolerate such turpitude.
I am certain that a judge and jury would be so overawed by his integrity and generosity of spirit that the charges - if it ever even came to court - would be dismissed with barely a glance at the flimsy 'evidence' and hearsay circulated by mediocrities who envy and resent his transformative genius.

Also, he has lawyers.
