I don't like the either/or, but I think Elon is an easier target in the Anglosphere. But the US government, of which Elon is a part, has been enabling authoritarian douchebags, and even if this act is consistent with the company's pragmatic compliance choices, it also aligns with the US administration's general tendency. And Elon has in other cases shown that his commitment to free speech is pretty weak if it's speech that he doesn't like.
