"Free speech absolutist" sucking up to dictators again. The way fans of these a-hole billionaires lick their balls and tell us how great they are when the reality is 180 degrees the other way is just mind-blowing to me. Reality TV is a hell of a drug.

I think fElon would say that ketamine is a hell of a drug🤣

Nothing new, unfortunately. In 2023, for example... https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65609123

So much for freedom of speech. Nazi Elon

Because not only is Musk the opposite of a “free speech” advocate, he’s a goddamn fascist, who supports fascists.
Musk came to this country illegally, should be deported to South Africa, and his assets seized.
I was a member of the GOP for 26 years.
This is what MAGA has done to me & millions more.

Of course he has. People need to get off of there. It’s just a microphone for autocrats

The free speech absolutist? No way.

J. D. Vance going to lecture Erdogan in 3, 2, 1…

Something something free speech maximalist.

I mean it’s his platform but also the rank hypocrisy should be disgusting.

alexiacharlotte.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't understand this tolerance for hypocrisy.

Who supports it????

Sycophants - sure, okay why not.
People who don't understand what hypocrisy is - education fail, but fine.
...

But WTF else???

jaysartcorner.bsky.social•2 days ago

The thing you have to realize, is the people who have been calling for this, are actually saying “free speech for me, not for me.” The hypocrisy is part and parcel of it, they think they are entitled to being treated better than everyone else.

"I support horrible people if they are horrible to people I don't like" - that's the Face-Eating Leopard theory.

But the rank hypocrisy... and I'm focusing on Americans here... it's irreconcilable with the entire American ethos.

Despising hypocrites should be non-partisan - what happened?

Yes. Always punch a Nazi. 🇨🇦

slimchickens.bsky.social•2 days ago

Banning some of the last non-Nazis left on that platform will only accelerate its death spiral

mwade2025.bsky.social•2 days ago

The nerve. Where do they think they get the right to interfere in global events to that degree and in that fashion?

Free speech for me but not for thee

MUSK LIKES FREEDOM OF SPEECH? KISS MY ASS!

Elon enjoys the attention he gets from flat out misleading people. 1.2 billion views on his tweets in a 6 month period. According to the same question I asked, he tweets upwards of 145x a day. When he is fact checked or challenged then the bans and censorship start.
