Or if you go around stalking someone else , bullying them and making their life miserable you get a large fine or go to jail.

      1. Elon isn't talking about allowing bullying or harrassment. He's talking about allowing opinions, which, as of present, are controlled and censored in a way that would make Kim Jong Un blush.
      2. I'm sick of leftists and those who lick the bumholes of power use the line "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences". If the consequence for having the wrong opinion is losing your job, being blacklisted, having accounts shut down, being denied a passport, being jailed etc. then you don't have free speech at all. Harrassment, threats, libel and suchlike are covered by law. Opinions absolutely should be free from consequence and they're currently not.
      And I'm not even a libertarian.

So why allow a bunch of data zombies dictate the terms what is to be twitted or not? Let everything hit the fan and everything in twitter will die out b/c it is nothing but a lie: an error.

It's already lost 6% in two days, and he overpaid for a company that was on the brink of failure because the advertisers aren't buying ad space. He's still $22 BILLION dollars short of the cash to buy Twitter,so he has to sell Tesla stock to complete the deal. That's why Tesla stock fell 12% yesterday.

      People say the most vile things on twitter. The only time they removed tweets is when they brake a law or when it's false information.

    Haven't watched the video yet, but one can assume there is going to be bias against Musk due solely to the fact that the publication deliberately chose about as distasteful and unflattering a photo of Musk as possible while still maintaining a bare minimum level of neutral journalism (aka plausible deniability)
    Guess I will find out in 5 minutes when the video is finished if I was correct, or if this weed is way too strong
