Musk couldn't care less about free speech. He has implemented a policy that bans you for using the word "cisgender" while he responds to nazi propaganda with personal admiration.
How did he accomplish that, given how he doesn't have any kind of political power? Or are you confusing "free speech" with company policy?
The concept of speaking freely is not exclusive to legislation. Musk specifically bought this platform because, according to himself, he saw it as an important place for human discourse and the freedom to speak your mind was being inhibited by the policies around moderation. Which is ironic because he implements policies that ban you for speaking out over arbitrary topics while the previous policies simply banned hate speech.
I would like to see proof lf this.

This took less than a minute of research. You aren't asking for proof out of some concern for intellectual honesty, you're trying to cast doubt on something that is plainly, obviously true
Then open your eyes and look.
