The spirit of the Bill of Rights is to restrict primarily the Federal government. The First Amendment didn't even apply to states (let alone businesses) until after we had a civil war, the Fourteenth Amendment, and a SCOTUS case in 1925 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitlow_v._New_York / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_R...).

They had no intention of broadly protecting free speech in general. They just didn't want Congress specifically messing with it.

> The parent poster was taking the position that allowing speech is somehow a Musk-derived idea, which is absurd.

On that we can agree.
