Why does it matter that it's free speech? Like congratulations that the government isn't trying to literally arrest you for what you're saying. That's like the bare minimum.
We have no obligation to accept all kinds of speech at all times. X, as a private platform, can make whatever rules it likes for the speech it allows on X. And Elon is allowing anti-Semitic speech while suppressing pro-trans speech.
Like it's pretty obvious what "free speech" means to him. And it isn't actually free speech, it's just prioritizing speech he likes. (Which, spoiler alert, is what all American free speech arguments boil down to.)
