This follows his $44 billion dollar deal to buy the social media giant.
The billionaire wants to relax content restrictions, sparking fears from human rights groups it could lead to a rise in bullying and misinformation.
The European Commission also warned Musk that he must protect users.
No-one knows exactly what the billionaire entrepreneur has planned, with even the Twitter boss acknowledging the future is uncertain.
Musk describes himself as a “free speech absolutist” and is passionate about making Twitter a genuine forum for free speech.
A short time ago Musk took to the platform he is buying… tweeting “The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all”
He went on to say he is against censorship that goes far beyond the law.
“If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.”
This follows his statement that Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy when he first announced the deal with Twitter.
The social media firm faces growing pressure from politicians and regulators over the content that appears on twitter.
It has drawn critics from left and right over its efforts to mediate misinformation.
