Musk is wrong on this. Twitter acting on its own to suppress speech is still a violation of free speech.

Free Speech is a fundamental right, an inalienable right, which cannot be taken away.

While I agree that large social media platforms should be treated under the same laws as any other utility, the point is legally arguable which is why it is being argued. But the SOS of Arizona pressuring a private entity to suppress free speech to further her own campaign is an abuse of power in violation of the civil rights of the citizens of the US and she she be sued to hell and gone for it.

The Supreme Court needs to rule on this.

True as an abstract value, but the legally enforceable part is only in cases of government interference. The corporate part is not yet fully defined in its scope by the courts. Legal cases still pending.
