Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Is this true? The statement isn't attributed to anyone so it's hard to establish its credibility.
Yep both of those are true. Musk did say he bought Twitter to be an arena for free speech, and that the Twitter account was suspended.
Archive.org links for both the links if you can't read the full articles: https://web.archive.org/web/20220414204110/https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/14/elon-musk-ted-talk/, and https://web.archive.org/web/20260829202851/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/4634208/trump-portfolio-tracker-account-suspended/.
Thank you.
