Those who work for him don't seem to share those beliefs in free speech.

Musk has displayed hypocrisy before when it comes to free speech. This is not the first time that Musk has fired people who criticized him. The captain of the ship, Musk, has fostered this very culture. He was the one who criticized their work.
Thousands of employees were laid off less than two weeks ago. When Musk laid off so many workers from the company, he had to reach out to some of them to get them back to work. Features crucial to Musk's own plans were worked on by some of the employees who were fired.
The company fired more workers over the weekend after cutting ties with many contractors.
As a result of Musk's takeover, brands have paused campaigns on the platform, resulting in layoffs and firings. There are fake accounts on the platform that are pretending to be brands.
After Musk announced the company was shutting off "microservice bloatware" which he claimed weren't needed for the company to work, users were locked out of their accounts.

The employees no longer worked under Musk. It's not difficult to see why. Most of them seem to be engineers or software developers, which may make it easy for them to find a new job.
