This tweet is in reply to Musk's revelation that Apple has stopped advertising on Twitter[1] while making an assertion that it must be because "they hate free speech in America". This puts Apple in the same free speech hating category as Chevrolet, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., Ford, Jeep and others.[2]

The screenshots of the app review don't corroborate the "disallowed almost anything related to Covid, especially vaccines or human origins of the virus", but the Pepe the Frog[3] images could certainly run afoul of Apple's "Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content" restrictions[4]

The App Store Review's comment "We continue to find that your app or metadata includes content that some users may find upsetting, offensive, or otherwise objectionable" also makes it sound like they went around the block a couple of times with this and Odysee was either unwilling or unable to apply content restrictions.

Related, why does it seem like every time Musk rallies for free speech it's adjacent to some hateful dog whistle?

Unrelated, LBRY seems like a hot mess[5].

Because dog whistles are adjacent to free speech.
