That is true, but the principle of speech is violated by everyday individuals with no power who espouse such values.
You could say it is simply a derivative of the mindset that nearly everyone holds "liberty for me, but not for thee". We just tend to ignore or think it is irrelevant when nobody holds power.
Yes, Elon and X can never be taken seriously on free speech without a pivot towards decentralization. What is happening with X is precisely the opposite. The "everything" app only provides opportunity for more control which will result in less freedom inevitably.

People demand their privacy and then look through their partner's phone etc. > We just tend to ignore or think it is irrelevant when nobody holds power. "Nobody holds power over others" is an impossible perfection but getting closer to it is a primary goal of a good society. > Yes, Elon and X can never be taken seriously on free speech without a pivot towards decentralization.

"Everything app" is some kind of marketing BS. Is the same app supposed to protect your anonymity and do your taxes? Hold your medical records and implement opaque buggy video game anti-cheat systems? That is either a farce or a dystopia. But in practice he probably just means they're going to add some Tesla integration or cryptocurrency thing to Twitter and then people can take it or leave it.
