Musk contacted the Bee CEO Seth Dillon soon after.after the call."He even mused on that call that he might need to buy Twitter. Now he's the largest shareholder and has a seat on the board." had a role in Musk's decision, though many factors were likely in play.
"He was clearly bothered by the fact that we had been locked out of Twitter," Dillon said."And so, you know, I certainly wouldn't say that it was the only reason that he spent $44 billion to acquire Twitter and make it a free speech platform. But maybe it was the icing on the cake." Dillon said the Bee’s ban was symptomatic of Twitter’s larger problem of banning accounts that pushed views the platform deemed offensive.Musk's ex-wife Talulah Riley told the Tesla CEO about the Bee's suspension on March 24, 2022, calling it"crazy," documents from a court case regarding Musk's Twitter purchase show. Riley encouraged Musk to buy Twitter and to make it"radically free-speech.

Sadly by restoring misconstrued free speech it has opened the door for more trumpian misinformation
You mean allowing people to spread lies and conspiracy theories?
Except there is no free speech. If you tell the truth about gender you will be banned. So stop the lies that there is 'free speech' in the United States. That is nothing but a lie.
