If Musk was actually for free speech, then that would be a liberal position he has. He just wants to be an asshole and not have consequences and he was seeing him and those like him, those traditionally holding the power in the world, actually facing consequences for what they said and did. So, he decided to hitch his horse to the free speech wagon because it would rally the masses behind him, like a new version of the Southern Strategy. But, because he has a real problem with people speaking truth to power, i.e. him and those like him, it is clear that his real focus is preventing a more small-d democratic movement from rising.
