Since it’s the platform that takes freedom of speech the most seriously, it caters to people who are for freedom of speech.

I don't even know why they bother with that kind of research. It's obvious that Trump can just lie and all his supporters believe it because they have a propaganda arm that's perceived as "news". The Trump believers all think that "MSM" is lying to them but for some reason they think that Fox and NewsMax and Alex Jones aren't (when the exact opposite is true).
It's like the whole hush money thing. Turns out it just doesn't matter, they should have let Stormy Daniels say whatever she wants because Trump just has to go on stage and make stuff up and then Hannity will repeat it and it becomes right-wing canon.

He’s going with the old classic: the opposite side is brainwashed and dumb!
Another home run.

'Freedom of speech', in this context, should be read as 'stuff Musk likes'.

The above example was a case of their rules against doxing - publishing JD Vances address and phone number, which is applied pretty evenly to all doxing.

To be fair they could censor a million differing opinions and still be the free speech platform among competitors.
