Literally the entire argument musk made for re-allowing a bunch of people who had been banned for calling for LGBT people to be allowed or assaulted, or for more generally being nazi-supporting shitheads, was that twitter is a public square, and that he is a free speech absolutist.
So the problem people are having is that he still gets to come out in public talking about free speech, when that is objectively bullshit, or that any of the changes being made have anything to do with "free speech".

- jacooper 4y agoThese are not lies though? Elon said he wants free speech to the extent the law allows, yet now goes on banning spree
- jakelazaroff 4y agoThey're saying that Elon was very obviously lying from the start, yet many people credulously believed him.
