Is there a context for Musk’s “free speech absolutist” quote? I see it referenced frequently, but can’t seem to find the original.

- SpicyLemonZest 3y agoHe originally said it in response to a request from some (unnamed) governments to block Russian news sources after the invasion of Ukraine. (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1499976967105433600 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1499976967105433600)
- rewmie 3y agoWasn't Musk's Twitter caught blacklisting comments regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Sounds awfully hypocritical to defend the right to post unfiltered Russian propaganda while at the same time blacklist comments from Russia's invasion and ongoing genocide of the ukranian people.
- mikrotikker 3y agoYes we should be able to see inside of Russia and what is going on over there and to see their propaganda because it can be quite informative as to their motivations and goals and what not.
