1. There is no such thing as absolute free speech.

Anyone who says they are an absolutist about free speech is a liar.

There are certainly levels of support and some go further than others but everyone has limits and everyone is on one side or another and the tendency is to support the side you are on and the likelihood is that people would support limits on attacks against their own side.

As they say, Musk has leveraged power to halt attacks on the products that have made him wealthy. He tries to attack critics. He wants to be seen as some sort of nuetral but he isn't and any insistance on the lie, just makes him look foolish.
