If you provide a platform for which anyone can attack anyone else, then you are in effect providing a shield to them. Elon sees free speech as only being good, but their is a flip side to it. Hell, he even recognizes it himself.

That’s how Elon Musk opened a conversation with 19-year-old Jack Sweeney over Twitter DM last fall. He was referencing a Twitter account, called @ElonJet, which tracks the movements of his private jet around the world.

Twitter provided a platform, the kid used it for free speech, and Elon found that harmful and tried to silence his free speech with money. I suspect if Elon bought Twitter, his idea of free speech would only extend as far as it doesn't harm him. You can bet that kid's account would be gone.
