Some people on youtube have been talking about their disappointment with the inconsistency of Musk claiming to be anti-establishment and for "free speech" yet bringing in someone that rubs a lot of elbows with rich powerful people.

She was an NBC executive, after all. 

One insight that Musk fans seem to lack is that Elon Musk is one of the richest people in the world. Literally the richest one as of right now. He is the establishment. He doesn't want Twitter to improve freedom of speech, he wants Twitter to control speech himself. 

What is "freedom of speech"? There are numerous definitions of it. The one that will prevail at Twitter is the one that interests Elon Musk and his pockets the most.
