This completely made up series of conspiracy-laden comments is what HN is now ... well, that and people getting very confused about what free speech is.
"free speech" is the new "fake news". It's a reductive meme you can hurl to justify your actions.
Twitter isn't Congress, and the TOS are clear and exist for a very good reason. Now Elon has reinvented... TOS. And claims you have a right to free speech, but not of reach... which is exactly what deboosting and shadowbanning are. He's even planning to have an "algorithm" (another memey buzz word to rail against) to prioritize replies. He's reinvented the status quo, all in the name of a boogeyman that never existed.
