It may sound odd but this could actually be a sea change moment for a lot of people. Having been stuck around far right coworkers enough a lot of them have hung their hats on the whole “free speech” lynchpin. That’s the thing they condemn leftist spaces for doing, that’s the hill thwy will die on. Their sycophantic love of Musk is bound up in the idea that he’s some kind of champion of free speech. This likely is the rude shock some of them might need to realize that was never true.
Is it going to get them to revisit their whole worldview? Probably not. But it’s a crack in the facade.
Shareholders need profit. Shareholders will chase the biggest profit. They don’t care what you are saying - they only care that their bank balance is rising… until it’s too late.

When free speech stops me
From saying that which I want
I will not be mute.
I recognize that speech is never free when the place it is conducted is owned by shareholders.
