He doesn't have to. However for a self-paraded "free speech absolutist" who literally said he would not suspend @elonjet in order to follow that principle, this act makes him a massive hypocrite and demonstrates his free speech advocacy to be nothing but a show.
Also, arbitrary suspensions like this when Twitter no longer has any decision-making council on such policies is not a good sign for corporate advertisers who prefer stability & reputation. Can't find those on a platform where one manchild has taken a dictatorial position.

- ceejayoz 4y agoIt's a top-three above-the-fold story on https://www.nbcnews.com/ https://www.nbcnews.com/ at this moment; any large advertiser is going to have brand safety folks employed specifically to keep an eye on stuff like this.

- ssnistfajen 4y agoIgnoring your highly biased conspiratory language here, Twitter Files revealed nothing more than some internal communication snippets about events that were already public knowledge.
- trillic 4y agoI haven't had trouble finding info about the Twitter files. Is there anything particularly damning in them? Because I haven't seen anything that isn't still clearly going on with Musk at the helm. I only browsed cursorily, and you seem to have a strong opinion. Care to share? Casual fan of free speech and kinda confused at Musk here.
