In the particular little culture war concerning gender identity, pre Elon you would get banned for "deadnaming" and criticizing the health claims of gender clinics (aka transphobia)

It's flipped now, Elon has tweeted that using cis to describe not-trans people is a slur. Which seems like going the other way on "free speech absolutism" but whatever.

To your first point: I've seen accounts not being banned for years doing exactly that intentionally.
