Musk uses free speech as the philosophical version of a human shield. People like him couldn't care less about free speech once they've burned it's utility out playing games.
At the same time letting corporations thought-police (usually written on the wind of whatever crusade the mobile vulgus, of one variety or another, is on about this week) speech is so epically stupid it is almost funny. Musk latches on to this like he is some soothsayer of some impending 'takeover' when he is just exploiting a different facet.
CEOs loving free speech? You mean the idea of a free press that can report on their misdeeds? Consumers with the ability to raise flags about products and companies? Whistleblowers? Protestors and boycotters? Union organizers? What CEO would ever want to discredit free speech by turning it into a clown show of racists and woo-woo nutjobs?
