Elon Musk, for instance, claims to be a free speech absolutist. However, in practice, he attempts to suppress speech that is expressed through bots that advertise crypto currency in replies to him.

Wanting to stop fraud isn’t the same thing as wanting to stop political speech you don’t like.

Free speech isn't just about political speech though.

That’s true but I don’t think it includes fraud by most people’s definition (which is most of what the fake Elon bots are doing).
