Isn't it run by the same people who were famous for censoring twitter?

To the best of my knowledge, and further evidenced from some of Elon's leaked texts from last year, Jack Dorsey has always been an adamant defender of free speech. Advertisers and the government were probably the two largest forces driving censorship at the company.
