He certainly suffers from speaking truth to power. Bill Gates suffered no consequences for flying on the lolita express (other than maybe a divorced wife) while Stallman was canceled because of some fairly mundane commentary on Epstein.

It's an odd artefact of American culture that statements made by people who stand to gain nothing materially and potentially lose a lot (e.g. Stallman) are so frequently given less weight than those who have a strong financial interest (Microsoft's "we love open source now no really").
