What's important to understand is that through his role in Brookfield, Carney is a major investor in X, which is substantially impacting his ability to act.

They did a complicated fold of it into a new enterprise of which Carney is still a major shareholder

I'm sorry to be that guy but I'm still unable to find anything that shows Brookfield currently holding any part of xAI (owner or Twitter/X).

I did find a mention of the guy who got fired from Brookfield for wanting to invest in X suing Brookfield for backing out of a $100 million investment. Also, an article from NYT says as part of the lawsuit:

Mr. Raffaelli said, he had been forced to sharply reduce — from $25 million to $5 million — the amount that one of his funds planned to invest in Mr. Musk’s xAI.

Even if Brookfield currently hold $5 million worth of X, how would that affect policy by Carney who is no longer part of any decision making process at Brookfield. It would be a major controversy if there was evidence he was somehow still involved.
