1.Being contracted by the government does not make you a part of the government. However, X is a US company and still has to comply with US law.
Our freedom of speech is not as unlimited as you believe. There are free speech exemptions that have been determined by supreme court cases over time. Incitement to violence: we are not allowed to shout "fire" or "bomb" in a public space unless there is a credible threat because a stampede will form and people can get hurt. True threats of violence, obscenity, defamation, false statements of facts (which includes 'Violent Event Denial'), false advertising, and child porn are all examples of unprotected speech.
If Elon allowed these things on X, he would be subject to criminal and civil liability a.k.a. breaking the law and/or getting sued into oblivion. Even if all speech were legal, who the hell would want to visit a website with obscenity, lies, threats, child porn etc.?
Two things here.
