Reddit censors can be unhinged sometimes, but each subreddit is its own entity in that regard. Plenty of oppositional voices thrived on Twitter pre-Musk. Musk is amplifying the worst voices for profit. The same thing has happened on Facebook even with the supposed censorship. Money is the ultimate goal.

He didn’t restore “free speech”. He literally made it “pay for a platform”, which has allowed a lot of propaganda to get preferred status. Also, a lot of the people complaining abou lack of free speech on Twitter were using Twitter to complain. There seems to be a contradiction there.  The common voice isn’t heard on Twitter now. It is only amplifying the people willing to pay to have their voice amplified. How is that any different from the regular media? 

The house oversight committee isn’t really a great source, depending on who is writing the report. The partisan politics of Congress result in a lot of misinformation, which is sad.  That being said, the lab leak theory is not exactly disproven and is still a reasonable theory given the nature of the Wuhan lab’s work. I don’t think it can be dismissed as misinformation by itself. Now if you are coupling the lab leak theory with governmental conspiracy bullshit that doesn’t have any substantial proof backing it up, then you might be entering the misinformation territory.
