Why do you go straight to anti-Musk conspiracy theories? This has been X’s - and Elon Musks - position from the start. It’s the very reason why he bought Twitter in the first place - to stop the erosion of free speech on social media.

You specifically made out that Musk would want this censorship, which flies against every action we have seen from him.
Aha, I see, irony.
By “every action” you mean “no again.”

He can always take the principled stance and remove access to the entire platform in India instead, which would make the censorship attempts painstakingly noticeable, and may incentivise users to ask for a change in policy and/or use VPNs for unfettered access. I doubt Musk will do that.
