I think that the characterization of "free speech absolutist" is misleading and facile, and this is reinforced by the idea of testing it with "the most grotesque and offensive things". Very few people are absolutists who would favor a platform that allows everything - kiddy porn and snuff films included.
I think what Musk wants to see is the Overton Window opened up more than it is now, and that's not a bad thing.
- root_axis 4y agoKiddy porn and snuff films are illegal. Musk is a self-described "free speech absolutist" in his own words so it's fair to hold him to that description, and while I do agree it's misleading, Musk is often misleading when it comes to his businesses, so I think the criticism is well earned.
- guerrilla 4y agoWell Musk may be misleading and facile, but that's how he describes himself in his own words.
