The concept of speaking freely is not exclusive to legislation. Musk specifically bought this platform because, according to himself, he saw it as an important place for human discourse and the freedom to speak your mind was being inhibited by the policies around moderation. Which is ironic because he implements policies that ban you for speaking out over arbitrary topics while the previous policies simply banned hate speech.
