There was the classic case where he said he was such a free speech absolutuonist that he wouldn't ban the person who was tracking his plane. Guess what happened shortly afterwards

Musk tweeted that the accounts violated Twitter's "doxxing" rules, meaning they revealed nonpublic personal information.

ban posts on other people's live locations because of "increased risk of physical harm."

Shall we expect he shows consistency in case of troll harassment campaigns, which feminists have been bringing up for a lot of time.
Also reinstate the API that made feminist anti-harassment apps possible?
How does this (obviously personally motivated) cater to personal safety generalizes to his free-speech absolutist views about yet other platforms: KiwiFarms for example.

It wasn't so much the tracking of his plane itself. It was that that data revealed that his plane landed in a place known for it's pedophile sex tourism
