I am very happy that the person who describes themselves as “free speech absolutist” will be in charge of a platform such as Twitter.
This was obvious to me because I was born in USSR and I hope after the past two years it is more evident to those who grew up in free countries.
- justapassenger 4y agoKeep in mind that he DESCRIBES himself as that. Look at his actions, not words.
- option 4y agoagree. Track record says way more than words.
- hunterb123 4y agoWell don't leave us in the dark... What actions have you noticed that contradicts his statements? So we can debate whether or not you came to the right conclusion in interpreting said actions. Or were you just making general hand waving statements?
- TMWNN 4y ago>What actions have you noticed that contradicts his statements? More than once I've seen people cite Musk blocking certain Twitter users as "proof" that he is not pro-free speech. The mental leaps needed to go from individual autonomy on who to interact with, and imposing such norms across an entire user base, boggle the mind.
- noxer 4y agoHeard this many times since the whole Musk/twitter thing started, yet no one actually comes up with any action he did. Especially on twitter itself its a very common "argument", usually followed by the burden of proof fallacy calming that it is "common knowledge" and its up to me to research if I dont already know the free speech "wrongdoings" of Musk.
