Oh, so he's not a free speech absolutist at all. He forbids the use of slurs against anyone! Only problem is, Musk decides which words are slurs and what gets actively enforced 🤔

The Guardian - Opinion - Twitter was locked in a chaotic doom loop. Now it’s on the verge of collapse.
05 July 2023
Since the ‘genius’ bought Twitter last year, he’s made a series of poor decisions – and now the platform is almost unusable ...
If Musk were a clever or brilliant thinker, as some people still believe despite all available evidence, one could assume that he has some master plan or that he’s making strategic decisions about the scope, scale, design and functionality of the service. He is not. He has not.
He is running Twitter into the ground like Donald Trump ran the US government – fueled by fits of indignation and paranoia.
Since the day he proposed taking over, Musk has demonstrated no interest or expertise in how such a service might enhance the lives of its users or at least make money to stay afloat.
He’s run it on debt – debt accrued from some of the most dangerous people in the world. ...
How long can this Twitter last? It must be a matter of months away from total collapse.

BBC News - Twitter threatens legal action over Threads app
breaking
Twitter is considering legal action against Meta over its fast-growing rival app Threads.
Threads, which was launched to millions on Wednesday, is similar to Twitter and has been pitched by Meta bosses as a "friendly" alternative.
Twitter's Elon Musk said "competition is fine, cheating is not" - but Meta denied claims in a legal letter that ex-Twitter staff helped create Threads.
More than 30 million people have signed up for the new app, according to Meta.
The look and feel of Threads are [very] similar to those of Twitter ...
Twitter attorney Alex Spiro sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday accusing Meta of "systematic, wilful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property" to create Threads.

I don't personally, see how those can be slurs. I personally identify as simply a man and cis isn't prefix that resonates with me at all. However, I understand that other might choose to identify as cis, which is no skin off my nose.
That said ... it's Elon's trainset. For better or worse, he can make rules as he sees fit, within the limits of the law. People who don't like it will assumedly vote with their feet.
