Elon started looking at buying Twitter after they banned the Babylon Bee. The Bee is satire like the Onion and SNL, but it made fun of the left. When making fun gets you banned, that's out of control.
I'm not sure where the hypocrisy is. I don't claim to be a free speech absolutist. I censor myself frequently, and when I get "censored" online I accept it and move on.
