I don’t think there’s any reasonable evidence of this, given he has sued media matters for publishing factual information, and even encouraged AGs to open criminal investigations.

Musk has absolutely no respect for free speech. He regularly uses the power of the government to punish anyone that dares criticize him. He makes a mockery of free speech.

Sorry to come back to this a week later, but Elon Musk just tweeted:

> 60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election.

> They deserve a long prison sentence.

I just don't think it's even remotely credible to claim that he values free speech.

He literally posted an AI generated video of Xi in Winnie the Pooh garb.

> How else do you explain Trump delaying enforcement of the TikTok ban

Because he wanted people to watch his inauguration on TikTok. Plus the intention was always that TikTok would be bought by a US company, not to shut it down entirely given the extensive number of people who rely it on both for income and for entertainment. The issue was that the Supreme Court ruled on the takedown being legal just 2 days before the ban deadline, giving no time for an acquisition. Even Joe Biden refused to enforce the ban on TikTok on the last day of his presidency.

> If anything he should be going a lot harder against China

Tariffs on China just kicked in.
