Lmao, no offense but holy damn the mental gymnastics going on there.
> Great to see free speech finally thriving on Twitter now that Musk has taken over!!
> See but Musk is banning people for making fun of him, even accounts clearly labeled as "parody".
> Hmm sure, but then again does parody really fall under free speech?

Free speech is free speech. It's not "you're free to say things I like", especially as defined by some slightly-deranged billionaire CEO. Plus, parody is the bread and butter of comedians making fun of politicians since at least ancient rome.
For what's worth, Musk had already been notorious before for attempting to silence those critical of him. And let's not even get into the union-busting stuff (free speech to hurl abuse at trans people online, but not to organize collective action!).
