He literally said in this tweet thread that every one of these social media sites starts out being "pro free-speech" and learns how impossible that actually is to live up to.
Reddit is "really, really racist, sexist, and authoritarian" because there's literally no other way to be a major social media site. It's all shitty and horrible, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. That's exactly what the thing we're all commenting on is trying to say, that Elon thinks he can fix this but he can't, and it will cost Elon and the world a substantial amount.

- monocasa 5y ago.win and gab will absolutely censor people. I know people who have had their accounts banned. The wrong think there is just anything not right wing. 4chan is more an example of what happens when you don't censor.
- lstodd 5y agoWhat's wrong with 4chan (and dozens of its offspring)? You don't like it - you don't read it. It's that simple.
- monocasa 5y agoIt's fine that they exist, but they shouldn't be a model for the rest of the Internet. Every town needs a gross back alley, but a town that consists only of gross back alleys is an awful town.
- skinnymuch 5y agoEverything you named still is far worse with how much they allow and how much bigotry, .1% worship, and far more authoritarian ideology than Twitter. By a wide margin.
- TameAntelope 5y agoAre you suggesting any of what you just named aren't really, really racist, sexist, and authoritarian?
