It makes me wonder...maybe he is pro certain types of speech but maybe not other types. Maybe it isn't based in principal but is more ideological, which made me wonder what caused that shift in his ideology. He's not the first person to espouse "freedom of speech" when he really meant "the people who think like me should not be punished for speaking like me, but I still want to censor people who disagree with me."
It's not just Musk, but a lot of our me-first society's ideology is "I love freedom, but I want XYZ to be blocked or banned and I'm not a hypocrite, because those things are bad and therefore wanting them banned isn't anti-freedom." It's a mindset where you want to ban something, but you have a good reason that makes things better/safer/more free but when other people want to ban stuff it's because they are freedom haters who just want to force their will upon others.
That and a lot of people think that a country is free if they are free. I always ask people who love freedom to tell me something that is legal or unregulated that they hate or disagree with. If they can accept that, that's a good start.
