I would think putting up 43 billion of your own dollars to protect free speech is a pretty strong action. Not that I think all his motives are pure; TBH I'd rather some other mechanism of enforcing free speech that doesn't involve the media being the plaything of billionaires. However, given the awful situation right now, I think I'd prefer Musk to the current board.

Yeah but he’s rich so we are compelled to take him at his word
