    "Above everything, including profit, X works to protect the public’s right to free speech. But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added.

    Good to know you believe in free speech. Elmo. So you won’t mind if companies exercise that right by choosing not to advertise on your racist, apartheid-loving network.

      And the freedom to say “that’s objectionable” and choose not to be associated with it.

        That’s not freedom of speech, that’s freedom of association. Different freedoms. Your point remakns though, I’m not arguing, just pointing that out.

    This is a win for the status quo bloods and crips.

    To me, there is a lot to bash Musk on, but the twitter files confirmed and should have enlightened many of the problems we currently have with politicians/media/corporations being in bed with each other.

    This seems similar to the Russiagate stories pushed by legacy media.

    Smearing opposition of the status quo, then once the population believes the lies, the truth starts to comes out years later by MSM journalists.

    I make mistakes and I am willing to learn, so please if anyone can articulate and explain in detail?

    Why all the baseless hate against Musk, while we already know enough about how he treats his workers to be against him. No need to be hostile or to lie when talking about him.

    “We’ll, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions “

    Still don’t think anyone has put it better than Owen Jones .
