Especially giving it to those who don't agree with. Flat earth theory ridiculous? Of course. Should it be banned? No, but the fact that it exists should make some people think. The problem lies with the educational system, because if it would work properly, such theories would only be present in jokes.

Unfortunately a lot of conspiracies nowadays are just means to an end. Flat earthers were around for a long time but rose to prominence with advent of content creators. It was just another topic/click bait and it 'sold' well. Most of them don't believe in the content they produce. And political conspiracies are worse yet. People needed covid19 to be caused anything but a virus and they created the 5G conspiracy. Don't want to wear a mask - say the mask itself is causing covid19. Want to say that climate change does not exist - say that all those wildfires are caused by jewish space lasers. Education will not help this as conspiracies are used maliciously for specific end goals with full knowledge that they are not true.
Musk and his platform attracts those loonies. But everyone knows that no one can do anything about it. People express disdain with him and his platform. They wish for the platform to fail.
But at no point did anyone suggest to limit the freedom of speech. Because that would be a moot topic.
