The mental gymnastics that folks go to excuse Musk's behavior will get ever more absurd.

Musk will continue to censor speech he doesn't like arbitrarily and use Twitter to promote right-wing extremists who will then hurt real people in the real world.

> use Twitter to promote right-wing extremists

Musk has in the past and very recently supported conspiracy theories. Dr. Fauci, one of the greatest public servants we've had in this country, was accused by Musk of 'killing millions'.

Musk is a right-wing extremist who will protect his own.

You use very uncommon (or I'd say, left-leaning) definition of "extremism". Basically, expressing opinion you disagree with, is extremism.
