He doesn’t need to. His legion of cult fanboys will not even bat an eye.

Already happening, even in this thread.

Musk is an authoritarian at heart. Hypocrisy is the expression of his authority.

"I just banned fake news and wokeness from Twitter. Isn't this place better than ever?" – Elon

"Yes sir, you totally owned the libs. Could you build a self driving boat?" - fanboys

"On it. Will be launched next year." – Elon

Some of the comments in that thread actually mirror yours closely.

Reminds me of my favorite line of his horse shit:

<random wealthy sycophant> You should sue BLM and Anti-Fa for tortuous interference and forcing the advertisers to flee.

Mosque: lawyers are already on it.

elon believrs in free speech as much as peter thiel does. Free for me, not for thee.

All it took was a crowd booing him for Musk to get so bent out of shape that he abandoned all pretenses of being in favor of free speech. That must have really hurt his feelings.
