Is it that Musk is saying "bUt mUh FrEe SpEeCh!!!" Despite Twitter doing bugger all to monitor misinformation except the most extreme of extreme examples?

It seems like a big nothing burger to me, but again, I never really got Twitter in the first place.
The thing I don't like is Musk's repeatedly manipulative behaviour with regard to markets in which he plays. He was using his platform to talk trash about twitter just recently, then comes in to buy.

Musk is an amazing entrepreneur and is a visionary, but I don't think he's someone to look on as having a great respect for the rule of law. What he'll do, I have no idea, but I don't think he's a guy who is just going to consult a bunch of constitutional lawyers to guide his decision either.
