No, it didn't. He is a free speech absolutist. For his own speech, not for yours. He bought twitter so he could speak freely.

And he still does not understand that free speech ≠ freedom from potential consequences based on exercising that speech.

Edit: but to be fair, I don't know why anyone would expect a robber baron emerald mine nepo-baby from South Africa to understand free speech.
