You think Musk supports free speech in any way, form or shape?

Didn't say that.

But the petition is being sold here as "pledging to vote for Trump". which it plainly isn't. It's also been sold in this Lemmy thread as paying voters to sign a petition that only Trump voters would ever agree to sign.

The petition that allegedly only Trump voters would ever agree to sign, only states that you support free speech and gun rights. Whether or not I think Musk actually genuinely supports those things (I don't) is irrelevant, that's what the actual petition says.

Can you share the full text of the petition?

Also confirm whether signing it defaults to adding you to any mailing lists?

So that's a no.

Doesn't matter though, you're obviously being disingenuous by treating this as a one-off petition and ignoring the larger context of America PAC that it's part of.

But I suspect the full text has even more dogwhistles, and I'd bet it tries to add you to their newsletter.
