I am shocked, shocked to learn that someone who seems to be increasingly aligned with autocrats and fascists doesn’t actually believe that people he disagrees with should be allowed to speak freely.
Who could have foreseen this wholly unpredictable turn of events?

Yeah, but luckily it comes with a lot of free Nazis.

This will be excellent evidence against the defense when the EU shuts down/fines Twitter for hate speech and they try to claim “free speech.”

How long before he unblocks neo-Nazi groups in Germany?
Or starts blocking reporters?
Or human rights groups?
Or politicians?

Like his cars, there are considerable laws and regulations around the world that he must obey, unless he wants to only drive his new toy on his private LAN.

I don’t have a twitter account, but I do follow a reddit group that reposts a lot of twitter threads on the Ukrainian war. Most things are blocked for me because… “sensitive content”. It was a bit more open before Musk took over.

Musk’s advisor in rooting out the evil anti-fascists is none other than Andy Ngo, noted Portland area ally of fascist thugs.

He could possibly get in trouble in Germany. They don’t have “unlimited” free speech there. I hope he gets in billions of dollars of trouble over it.

The EU is already warning Moff Elon that he needs to beef up standards to meet pending regulations.
He won’t listen.

I had my twitter account blocked after I sent a disparaging tweet to MTG, just to see how much freedom of speech I was allowed. The result speaks for itself. I said something along the lines of she was a horrible, reprehensible excuse for a human being, and that she should eat shit and walk barefoot over Lego bricks.
Personally, I don’t see a problem with it, though the bit about Lego bricks might be seen as being a bit harsh…
I haven’t bothered to take the tweet down yet, so I’m still blocked. Don’t really care much, to be honest.

Reporters covering the recent protests in China have apparently already been banned, so it seems China is successfully applying pressure over Tesla to get their way…
