Either way he has consistently used heavy-handed tactics to silence the speech of those he disagrees with. From attempting to destroy the life of a whistle-blower [0] (seriously, take time to read this article) to cancelling the order of a blogger who made negative remarks about him [1] to firing anyone who disagrees with him [2], Musk is a man that repeatedly abuses his power to silence anyone's speech he dislikes.
