The Spin
Narrative A
While Musk argues that he supports free speech, he doesn't mean all free speech. In reality, his support is conditioned on a country's law, meaning that when an oppressive, censorial government — such as Modi's — can legally suppress freedom of expression, Musk and Twitter are happy to comply. Musk's desire for free speech only extends to his ability to get away with saying what he wants rather than standing up to authoritarian regimes.
Narrative B
It's ironic that Western mainstream media is claiming that Musk's Twitter has colluded with Modi's government to silence the opposition just weeks after it was exposed that some 40K accounts belonging to real people, primarily Americans who had never been to India and who were not Hindu, were targeted in 2021 by a US-funded disinformation lab for allegedly supporting Hindu nationalism. It seems the media only cries censorship when trying to find fault with a non-Western country.
