This isn't about that though. This is advertiser's going "we don't want to advertise on X because Elon promotes content we don't agree with" and then Elon freaking out because much free speech. Even though no one is blocking or removing what he says, they just no longer want to be associated with it.
What's currently happening is that advertisers are pulling their ads from X/Twitter because Elon replied "This is the full truth" to a neonazi posting the Jewish question. I think if this is censorship, it's a form I agree with. What advertiser wants to be associated with nazis?
That's not censorship. That is literally just capitalism. You usually don't want your brand associated with Nazis, as that can be bad for business. Companies don't have morals, but they care about money.
