Prohibiting censorship is neither censorship nor content control. It is merely making the game rules of PUBLIC corporations conform to PUBLIC policy.
It is against public policy for banks - even private ones - to discriminate based on race. Is that government control of a bank's lending scheme? Or is it creating public policy to which that bank and all of its competitors must adhere?
People have rights - but so do societies as such. When we take a man's property through eminent domain, a crime has been committed agaist him - for the public good. So it is legal. A legal crime. Because the public - as such, as the public - has interests which will sometimes override private interests.

That means Musk has reinvested his wealth into the public interest. Seems like a good service to me.
