His commitment to his free speech is unwavering
Hey its not just his free speech – its also the free speech of those who agree with him, or is politically aligned with him.

Note: subject to change
He is using the concept of legal free speech correctly while memeing about a philosophical free speech that matches the colloquialism that many of his sycophants and observers think
Legal free speech has only to do with retribution via criminal liability from government organizations, alongside freedom to disassociate from speech and expression that you don't like
Twitter is not a government organization and is also not capable of levying criminal charges against anyone, and is free to disassociate from speech and expression it doesn't like thanks to the 1st amendment. Yes, this is the same capability as anyone else and the same possibility as Twitter operated before, aside from different choices of who its leadership chooses to dis/associate with.
It is an accurate commitment to free speech.

So he's doing the same thing twitter was doing pre-acquisition, without pre-acquisition-twitter memeing about "philosophical free speech"?
