Musk needs to be very careful here if he’s behind any of this. You can’t claim freedom of speech being paramount to democracy and then start fucking with people…

We should definitely wait and see, but let's be honest, he's never be a defender of free speech. He regularly bans people for posting public flight data and either bans or notes people who use cis or cisgender in their tweets. Journalists who've reported on him have lost their accounts with no explanation, only to get them back again, with no explanation when it became a major news story. The man requires employees to sign restrictive non-disparagement agreements, and once tried to get CUSTOMERS to sign non-disclosure agreements just to get their vehicles repaired. Plus he loves to do business with the biggest anti-free speech regime on the planet, the Chinese government, and has never said a bad word about them.

The man can be good on some issues, and has done some good things at Twitter, and is a successful businessman. But lets be real, the only free speech he is interested in is the kind that serves his personal agendas and conforms to his personal worldview. He is a 14 year old 4channer with more money than God.

I identified a word that exists and is relevant to the conversation. You can pretend that I use or support the term all you want. You have zero evidence to do so. But please, keep grasping at straws.
