If you aren't willing to say that to corporations who are trying to limit what you can say, don't bother calling yourself a journalist.
But.....Elon Musk isn't a journalist. He's a businessman.
And Greenwald, bless his heart, is just wrong. Or rather, he's applying a correct principle to a situation it just doesn't apply to. Just because it's a noble principle of a society to protect freedom of speech - or that it's noble for actual journalists (not Elon Musk) to resist editorial pressure - doesn't mean that randos saying reprehensible things on Twitter is noble. Even if one of the randos owns the company.
While there is journalism happening on Twitter, whatever Musk and the antisemitic randos whose retweeted posts landed him in that interview chair are doing isn't journalism.
