Elon Musk owns a social media company that is pretty open about it's speech policies, whether you agree with them or not. I hold random twitter user spouting bullshit to a much different standard than say...an organization that styles itself as a "newspaper of record" _uncritically_ parroting Hamas propaganda for the past two weeks.

What Hamas propaganda? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/14/opinion/israel-gaza-war.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/14/opinion/israel-gaza-war.h... > Israel stands on the verge of invading Gaza in response to the terrorist attacks by Hamas that many, including Israel’s leaders, have compared to Sept. 11 not just because of the scale and savagery but also because the terrorists sought to destroy the tranquillity of daily life. They killed the very young and the very old, the strong and the weak, civilians and soldiers; they took some 150 hostages, including children, and survivors said the attackers raped women — all to send a message that no Israeli was safe. - The Editorial Board

Elon Musk said > For following the war in real-time, @WarMonitors & @sentdefender are good Turns out those accounts aren't good. Musk had the freedom to endorse those accounts, and the times has the freedom to criticize him for doing so.

Musk has claimed to be a “free speech absolutist” and perhaps he is. But, as demonstrated by the India and Turkey decisions, Twitter / X is not. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/05/twitter-accused-of-censorship-in-india-as-it-blocks-modi-critics-elon-musk https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/05/twitter-accuse... https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/05/twitter-musk-censors-turkey-election-erdogan https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/05/twitter-musk-censors...
