If you look at musjs actions, he shuts down speech he doesn't like. He is only a proponent of free speech that benefits him.

I agree, minority voices should be able to freely say what they want. Nobody has the right to force others to listen, though.

The principle of free speech is good, but it too has limits. Musk is not a proponent of free speech and Twitter is no longer useful for activists or political organisation. Probably why the totalitarian governments invested in it. To shut down that type of use.
