"Tech billionaire Elon Musk has been noticeably silent after a Saudi Arabian national was sentenced to death for a series of posts on Musk's social media platform criticizing his government, calling into question the limits of Musk's commitment to uninhibited free speech when it comes to his own financial interests. According to an August 29 news release by Human Rights Watch, a civil rights non-governmental organization based in New York City, 54-year-old retired Saudi teacher Muhammad al-Ghamdi was sentenced to death this year by a Saudi court on a series of charges related to his online political activism.
...Musk's silence is particularly jarring given his self-professed commitment to free speech, which he often expresses in critiques of the U.S. government and institutions as complicit in an Orwellian plot to restrict free speech.
After purchasing the social media platform, Musk notably allowed several right-leaning journalists unfettered access to company documents and files in an effort to prove the previous regime had worked closely with the U.S. government to restrict the content shared by its users—a series of reports later referred to as "The Twitter Files." But his reluctance to comment stands out given a pledge Musk made this month that the platform cover the legal costs of anyone who gets in trouble with their boss for their activity the social media platform."
"No limit," he wrote.

He may be too busy blaming Jews for the decline of Twitter to comment on this.

Elon Musk blames Jewish defence group for X’s ad sales slump
Ad sales are still down 60 per cent “primarily due to pressure on advertisers” mounted by the Anti-Defamation League, Musk said in a series of posts.
