How do you alienate the world's richest man and push him to the conservative right?
You try to pressure his potential advertisers to boycott his platform, in this case it's Elon Musk and Twitter, and hope to put him out of the business of allowing for free and open speech on that platform. Now Musk is calling for an investigation into these groups if he refuses to back off on Twitter's content moderation policies that would allow conservatives and everyone else, the ability to say what they will.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Constitutional laws can be broken. You can't threaten people or get others to commit harm to others. But Musk wants to allow free speech, which may be things you don't want to hear, things you may hate hearing, and that's protected under the First Amendment.
The Left hates that concept.
“Some of the nation’s biggest brands including Coca-Cola (CCEP), Disney (DIS) and Kraft (KHC) are facing calls to boycott Twitter if the company’s soon-to-be owner, billionaire Elon Musk, rolls back content moderation policies limiting hate speech and election misinformation,” the Compromised News Network reported.

“In a letter sent to brands Tuesday ahead of the 2022 NewFronts digital advertising conference, more than two dozen civil society groups said marketers should secure commitments from Twitter to retain its most critical policies, including on civic integrity and hateful conduct, and threaten to withdraw funding if Twitter does not comply.”
This is mafia-style and fascistic strong-arming, a technique the Left knows all too well and disguises it in groups with names that have the opposite meanings of who they really are. Antifa is the first to come to mind. They are fascists claiming to be anti fascists. Black Lives Matter is another group that pretends that black lives matter to them except when it comes to the black lives being ended on a daily basis in Democratic-run big cities.
Some of the far-Left groups that signed onto the letter include Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, GLAAD, Media Matters For America, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the Women’s March.

Does the name George Soros come to mind?

The letter stated in-part:
As top advertisers on Twitter, your brand risks association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, health misinformation, and conspiracy theorists. Under Musk’s management, Twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation, with your brand attached, polluting our information ecosystem in a time where trust in institutions and news media is already at an all-time low. Your ad dollars can either fund Musk’s vanity project or hold him to account. We call on you to demand Musk uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety, and to pull your advertising spending from Twitter if they are not.Musk tweeted in response:
“Who funds these organizations that want to control your access to information? Let’s investigate . . . Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”The Left is going crazy over the Musk acquisition of Twitter last week because now there is at least one tech giant, out the many that are controlled by left-leaning billionaires, who will give an open platform for both sides of the aisle.
“Attacks are coming thick and fast, primarily from the left, which is no surprise, however I should be clear that the right will probably be a little unhappy too,” Musk said last week in reference to the response he received after his purchase had gone through. “My goal is to maximize area under the curve of total human happiness, which means the ~80% of people in the middle.”

Musk added in another tweet, “For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.”
Now all we need to know where he stands of Roe v. Wade.
