Elon's business is literally build on government donations and he has to deal with corporate partners every single day. I find it hard to believe many people thought he will support free speech. In his position, it would literally lead to arrest in mere days.
But more importantly, he doesn't even need to. His motivation is (and he said so many times) to destroy the woke hold over technological infrastructure and therefore all communication options. And aligning himself with trad Christian cuckservative right will do the job
