IMO, everyone defending Musk is the interesting thing about this. I agree, it is his right since he now owns Twitter, to do what he is doing because of how free speech rights applies only to government entities in the US. Twitter is not a government entity.
However, this "behavior" is exactly the same behavior that many were complaining about when Twitter was not owned by Musk. Which, to me, shows the hypocritical nature of Musk and those championing him as some sort of "free speech" rights proponent/divine being. I think many comments express ignorance of free speech rights and how they apply in the US.
Musk is simply showing us he's a hypocrite much like that other site "Truth Social" that also bans users for similar reasons while claiming to support free speech rights.
I can just see the article and the comments when Musk bans those with right leaning opinions - again.
BTW - I could give less than a crap about Twitter because I do not have an account and likely never will. Twitter is a huge waste of time, IMO.
EDIT: For those who do not know already, Musk has been replaced as the "Wealthiest man in the world".
