What does TFA have to do with "free speech loudmouths"? I may be missing backstory on the author, even so the comment seems out of place to the article I read.

- medler 4y agoI believe what they’re saying is that Elon Musk is a free speech loudmouth, and he fired the author for being a “jester” and/or saying things Elon didn’t like. (Not endorsing this view since I doubt Elon was directly involved in the firing, but that is my read on OP’s comment).
- Eisenstein 4y agoI assume they are speaking about Elon Musk, who used 'Free Speech' as a reason for his wanting to reform Twitter. Specifically that they 'censor' people too much or 'censor' the wrong people. The person remarking about 'free speech' loudmouths is pointing out the irony that people like Elon who go on crusades of free speech advocacy do not practice it when it comes to things they don't like, don't agree with, or which have the potential to harm them in some way. This is because the article mentions that the writer made a joke at Elon's expense personally (handed him a card with a cartoon showing him breaking a twitter figurine in a shop) and then got possibly fired because of it. That's my take on it.
