he has fired a lot of his own employees for what they said or posted online, no need to test him more.

Some people think it's fair game to retaliate gainst your own employees because there is no free speech at a company, I would counter that it's a very narrow margin for someone who declared themselve "free speech absolutist" and didn't implement it in their own kingdom.

Twitter is not Tesla or SpaceX neither are they considered the same (at all). To expect him to treat everything the same across the board is a disingenuou unrealistic expectation.

What about the reports that he canceled customer's orders after a blog post that they have made?

he used the term "absolutist", moreover those firings would probably be illegal in most civilized countries.
