"What's your problem SEC? I can't buy a social media co and then say whatever I want on it, whenever I want? I thought this was 'merica", might plausibly be one of his defenses against any charges of market manipulation and what are they going to do, the SEC, since they have proved time and again how toothless they are? Extremely powerful people do extremely stupid things. Examples: - Trump ("Charge the White house!") - Putin ("Invade Ukraine") - Musk ("Make Twitter an absolute free speech platform!") It's going to be fun to watch this over the next couple of months. And when I say "fun" I actually mean the exact opposite.

Calls to violence are explicitly not included in free speech. The problem is actually the unevenness of policies. An example that annoyed me recently: the video ad for /JeremysRazors is hidden behind a "potentially sensitive content" warning (it's not), but Twitter search "razors" and be prepared to see (without any warning) disgusting images of people cutting themselves. The Kremlin (and CCP) are verified and tweeting, whilst the BabylonBee (and Trump) are banned. Lunacy.
