Are we watching musk "get" radicalized? Or has he always been that way?
Because I remember way back, when journalists would write poor reviews of Tesla, he would go after them... typically accusing them of being compromised in some way, or not really being a journalist.
Then there's the swatting of a tesla wistleblower.
Or when a customer was "rude", he canceled their tesla pre-order.
Or when that tesla employee posted a self driving video of his own car--he fired him.
Or when there was an anonymous blogger that posted negative tesla investment advice, musk tracked him down, and called his employer trying to get him fired.
Im not going to keep going.. there are so many of these dating back a decade. I think the truth is he said what he thought people wanted to hear ("free speech absolutism"), and then once he obtained twitter, who he really is--exceptionally thin skinned--wont let him run it in a principled way.
