The only people with coherent philosophies of free speech are for absolute freedom of speech or absolutely no freedom of speech.
It's by pusuring incoherence, by threading the needle between those extremes that we create an open, free speech culture where freedom is the norm and censorship occurs only in extreme situations.
I generally agree with the rest of your post ("who cares?"). I would add that if Elon buys twitter and deletes it, I would be fine with it.

This is completely off topic and not at all your fault, but even though we are actively talking about Elon Musk and he should have been the primary person in my head, and even though the spelling is different -- for some reason my brain still interpreted "Elon" in the above sentence as Ellen DeGeneres, and I got really confused for about 10 seconds about why you felt the need to add that you would also be OK with her specifically buying Twitter.
