Musk's so idealistic as to be a 'free speech absolutist', how ... does he think this is in the good spirit of democracy?

...if he can keep Trump believing that it is to Trump's benefit to keep hyping Musk. That he might get into a position of ability to take control of more peoples lives and make even more money and maybe succeed (FTFY) Trump as emperor is just incidental.
What he doesn't realize is the convicted felon is just as likely to deport him for immigration violations and take his toys in the process.
Trump would never do that as long as Musk pledged his utter fealty to him.

If Musk turned on him, then yeah.

More from People Magazine
Wired reviewed audio allegedly from a manager of the canvassers, who laid out the stakes of why they needed to meet their canvassing quotas.

“What’s gonna happen is, they’re gonna stop paying for these rooms,” the manager said in the recording, Wired reports. “And then you’re gonna end up having to pay for it yourself. You can’t do that with no money.”

One canvasser alleged that they were told they would have to pay for their own flight home.

The outlet reports that workers didn't even have transportation to get around Michigan upon arrival. On Saturday, Oct. 19, supervisors allegedly arranged for Ubers to help them reach their address list, but by the next day, the workers were put in the U-Haul that one door knocker said left them feeling "embarrassed and played."

The workers were also given "performance guidelines” and were instructed to “keep the GPS function of their personal device turned on during all working hours,” according to the contact agreement reviewed by the outlet. The door-knocks, they were reportedly told, needed to be done in 15 seconds or less, and the contractors “must remain on a property for at least 30 seconds.”

Elon probably figured 'If it's good enough for my sex workers, it's good enough for these guys.
