  He never was, that was just an excuse to amplify the voice of his far-right buddies.

    I know. It was more about what he said.

    Freedom of (my) speech.

      I wish I was free from his speech, specifically.

    I don’t believe this because it gives Elon Musk too much credit and honestly I think he’s just a big loser who will latch on to whoever likes him at the time.

    A series of stupid events led to Twitter being full of stupid far right nutjobs and stupid Elon decided they’re his people now because they use his stupid platform.

      I’m not so sure about that. The big tell is that whenever a far-right user complained to him about getting a tweet removed or the account getting banned or something like that, he’d respond that he’ll personally take care of it. Just imagine, a billionare running a platform with millions of users personally taking care of a single one. This never happened with other people.

        I personally haven’t heard of this, but if it’s true it’s probably just because he’s latched on to them like I was saying. He didn’t buy Twitter with some nefarious intent to unblock far right accounts, he bought it because he’s an idiot who got into a pissing match on social media. He even tried to get out of the sale claiming “bots” and the owners threatened to sue the shit out of him.

  By free speech absolutist he really meant he thinks fascists should be able to say whatever they want.

    This is blatant advertisement. Doesn’t it violate the instance rules?

    “No one can act as a moderator to remove my content” This claim does align with with the principle of freedom of speech, but we have to admit that for now, complete freedom without any control can be unsafe. It could potentially lead to spams and political issues. However, the feature of not asking for phone numbers or email addresses sounds interesting, especially considering Elon is planning to introduce government ID verification.

  Freedom for me but not for thee

  I mean freedom of speech, not reach describes one boundary of the law in that nobody is required to give you a platform as far as i know.

  However it does absolutely not fit to the free speech absolutism purported last year.

  You gotta be really stupid to believe people like him. They are all the same. It’s like a mental sickness. You can feel it even just hearing him talk on TV.

  I guess it’s all about his political ambition.
