In short no. Elon is about making money not free speech. He's just good at manipulating people into buying his bs. People on Elon's level don't get canceled. He's also a gov shill.
Elon wants to be your bank. That's all the Twiiter buy was about. He has said it many times. He had the idea for X back in his Paypal days and its always been about making X an everything app. He wants to be your bank. Stay skeptical.
Difficult. he's the richest man in the world (on and off), he has a ton of US government contracts.
There are many centers of power and interests; they're intertwined, but they're not the same. There are struggles between different imperial governments, between different corporate sectors, between different parts of governments, all the time.
So this is probably a power struggle inside the imperial top of the pyramid, between parts of the government aligning with Musk to push back against a media captured by -partial- interests of the ruling class. Which means it depends on who wins this struggle.. in the short term.
in the long term, these struggles weaken the power pyramid as a whole, so I suggest to enjoy it with some popcorn.
