NPR and PBS are not influenced by the government. The amount that the government pays to the CPB is tiny.
On any controversial issue, NPR always offers to air people on all side of the issue. Yesterday, they dealt with the accusations of Clarence Thomas accepting free vacations and such from Harlen Crow. They invited Thomas to speak on his own behalf, but he did not accept. They also invited Republicans in Congress to speak about this, but none accepted.
Musk is not any expert on free speech.
