No. Ol' Muskie can do what he wants - if he's bored, he can throw 19 d10s and ban the user who posted that status id and get GPT-3 to generate the reason why they're banned. It's his company. Go nuts, Ol' Muskie!
What he can't do, though, without pushback or commentary, is turn up pronouncing that "FREE SPEECH IS HERE", "BOTS ARE BAD", "ONLY ILLEGAL SPEECH WILL BE CENSORED", etc., immediately go back on all three of those, enable and promote bigots, take a hard turn into transphobia, and then start throwing hissy fits at people who call him out on his hypocrisy and lies by banning people with post-hoc rationales.
If he doesn't like people calling him on his bullshit decisions, there's a simple solution. Hell, liberals and progressives would have -some- respect for him if he just owned his bullshit and said "Yes, I'm a petty narcissist who is now pandering to conservatives and bigots because they'll stroke my ego if I punch down."
