The core of my argument is when Elon tweets about how he's in favor of freedom of speech, it makes many liberals squirm. The argument doesn't depend on these sort of details related to whether "freedom of speech" is a purely legal concept, vs one that also makes sense in the context of a social media platform.

All right wing subs of which I'm aware have rules which filter out speech which does not toe the party line. I find the reality of the freedom with which I am allowed to discuss my ideas in righty subs to be extremely hypocritical when they are supposedly all about "free speech."
