Musk says he's a free speech absolutist

For Musk free speech is code word for “things I agree with”

I’m not good at metaphors… Does this mean he’s using “X” to shield us from free speech?

That’s exactly how the image reads to me, lol.

I mean no, the shield would have to face the other way for it to be blocking free speech.

The way “FREE SPEECH” is up at the top, it looks like it’s labeling the rain going past his shield, while he is blocking the rest.

It is a good metaphor, just maybe not fpr the reasons he thinks

Everything Musk says is a lie, just like his boyfriend, Trump.

Is he seriously posting cringe like this?

My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.

it shouldn’t be too surprising that he cheats in online games given that he cheats in pretty much every other aspect of his life as well

The richest man on this planet. What the fuck are we doing

I’d argue that Putin and perhaps some Saudi royalty are richer but we don’t know those numbers. But yeah agreed in general of course.

I didn’t even see that one, was it like super obviously “in just so good and amazing and smart they banned me for cheating”

He literally said he was banned for playing too well

Have you met the guy? (I’m sorry if you have)

He’s posted way weirder stuff than this.

I mean the Taylor Swift thing where he said he’d have her babies and protect her cats was pretty bad and I swear that isn’t even close to the worst.

However, I’m not on X though so I don’t have to look at the weirdness.

Yikes, elon makes me feel normal holy shit.

That’s all he does, no reason to get excited

Depends, what do you do with the excitement? The fact that this is the news of the world that we get, that the state of the world is what it is right now?

I disagree, I just don’t wish people took some more time to introspect as to what their senses show their surroundings to be, and how.

I can see the British east india trading company saying the same shit you just said, but to Gandhi. I don’t mean it as an attack, just wandering thoughts.

Sorry, I know it’s irrelevant. People don’t seem to like that.

He knows his audience

A vote manipulation farm somewhere in Asia?

People who value and are moved by symbolism and kitch

“Free speech” means “hate speech” when right-wingers say it.

That is the only thing free speech means to them. One sided uninterrupted and unchallenged propaganda.

As long as he absolutely gets to decide which speech is free and which is very very expensive

This, exactly.

All right wingers that scream about freespeech are screaming for the same thing.

The freedom for them to say whatever they want, and the freedom to silence anyone who calls them out and proves them wrong.
