Elon Musk is sticking with his free speech goals for Twitter, centering on the company's focus to provide "power to the people," and allowing the public to maximize the use of the platform. However, it seems like Musk's free speech will focus on the extreme side of things, as he declared that freedom will be absolute for all users.
This freedom even extends to the famed account which tracks Elon Musk's private airplane, saying that he will not ban the account despite the "personal safety risk."

Chief Twit expressed his goals for Twitter, and it is his commitment to giving its users the "free speech" which he promised for several months since he announced his plans to buy the social media. Moreover, it seems like he is taking this free speech campaign to the extreme, by allowing all sides to deliver their sentiments on the many topics discussed on the platform.
Still, there will be content moderation and Musk also aims to make Twitter's available information the most accurate, making it their mission to uphold in his time as its leader.
Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission.

Twitter founder and former CEO, Jack Dorsey, asked Musk to who is he making the information accurate, with the Chief Twit saying that it is for all-as judged by the people of Community Notes, the former Birdwatch moderators.

Twitter to NOT Ban Account Tracking Musk's Plane
In his tweet about free speech, the most extreme thing that Musk mentioned is to allow people to express their freedom to speak their voices online. He also said that Twitter will not ban the account that provides an update and tracking to his plane, a former account that went viral, claiming that they can track Elon Musk's private aircraft.
Chief Twit said that he is putting Twitter's free speech over his "personal safety risk."
My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk

Twitter and Elon Musk's Future Plans
Twitter's acquisition was finalized on Friday, October 28, and it was a buzzer-beater sale for Elon Musk to purchase the company, or an impending court proceeding will take place. One of the company's first actions under Chief Twit was to remove its CEO, Parag Agrawal, and Chief Financial Officer from social media.
It is known that Musk is now the absolute owner and ruler of Twitter, with his plans to take the company private, back to its roots, to center and "fix" its algorithm.
The new Twitter is centering on free speech for all, having the "left and right" have a platform to explain their side, with different opinions and sentiments allowed on the online discussion.
Twitter's future has one absolute goal among the many claims from the new owner, and it is to return free speech to the public at no cost.
Musk is centering on Twitter to be the internet's hub for every opinion and side, aiming to deliver free speech available for all users, without the price. However, he faces a massive roadblock against the public who are torn on his takeover and latest policies, as well as those looking into the $8 monthly subscription for the verification.
