Musk is a freedom of speech absolutist when it comes to the things he has to say. ‘I think that the bedrock of democracy is freedom of speech’ [1].
He has rather different views when it’s anyone else speaking [2].

Their last post did quite well, and it is characteristically different from their other posts.
I don’t think Elon Musk personally needs to put his thumb on the scale in this case. I don’t even understand why he’d be involved here and not say anything. Like wouldn’t he say “EFF sucks” or something? I dunno, I don’t really keep up with that kind of thing.
It’s fine if the EFF wants to leave because they aren’t reaching people.
Not sure why you would say that, I know he’s branded himself as a tech guy but beyond that nothing about the EFF seems to match his values.
The EFF tried to sue him last year too: https://www.eff.org/press/releases/judge-rejects-governments...
