Far out, Twitter has been giving Faceberg a run for its money lately in suppressing information the controlled media doesn't want people to see (and cancelling accounts of people who try to share any of it). But now Musk, who calls himself a "Free Speech absolutist," was originally trying to join Twitter's board, then changed his mind and is trying to buy them out:
Musk makes $43 billion offer for Twitter to build 'arena for free speech'

Musk obviously does at least a comparatively better job of supporting actual free speech than most hypocrites out there who claim they're for it, but then go actively suppressing all the key information on grounds that all the truths are "hate speech," misinformation," and/or "anti-semitic" and so on.

Well, this is interesting at the very least.Musk, a self-described "free speech absolutist," has been critical of the social media platform and its policies, and recently ran a poll on Twitter asking users if they believed it adheres to the principle of free speech. More than 70% of the 2 million votes cast said "No".
After Twitter banned former President Donald Trump over concerns around incitement of violence following last year's U.S. Capitol attack by his supporters, Musk tweeted: "A lot of people are going to be super unhappy with West Coast high tech as the de facto arbiter of free speech."
