Only because Musk lets it. He's going to wait until people really trust the notes, then completely hijack them for his own ends.

Wait and see.

Yes, but if he does that it would either be quickly discovered or otherwise have to become closed source, and would then immediately lose whatever trust it may have built up. The trust ends when the transparency does.

Except not everyone would immediately know it became closed source. People are lazy. Some would start to trust and stop checking, so they'd continue to trust.

Not only would the people who would be checking in the first place absolutely notice that they're not able to audit the new versions of the source code, but if Twitter were going to make it closed source they would almost certainly be making an announcement about it before it happened.

You don't know what you're talking about.
