Except Musk was never ever for absolute free speech. Also, the free speech absolutists have it wrong. Read speechless: controlling words, controlling minds for a much better and more coherent conservative philosophy on free speech.
Absolute free speech is an illusion that has never existed and never will. Our problem in society is that that we censor the wrong kinds of speech and tolerate the wrong kinds of speech. Overton windows aren't bad. Ours has just been corrupted. Musk explicitly said he wants to essentially broaden and fix the tolerance window, not abolish it.
- vba616 4y agoHow do we know what Musk is for, let alone what he has been "for" during his entire past life? Your last sentence implies that he "explicitly" says stuff and we should take that at face value. He was openly crowing over being able to hoax/troll the media on Twitter as of just a few days ago. The off-the-wall idea that what he says represents what he believes is constantly promoted even by the people who supposedly are frothing with hatred for him.
- RavingGoat 4y agoThis is completely clueless at this point. What Elon is for changes on a day to day basis.
