In a different universe with Musk actually being the hero some people think he is, this would be a fantastic argument to get behind. Hey advertisers, we are a content-neutral pipeline. Your ads are only showing up next to this type of content for people who deliberately set out to view that content. We believe in principled free speech, and people's right to say this despicable stuff so that it can be soundly rejected in the public sphere. We hope you'll continue to do business with us, and support the American ideals of freedom, but if not there are plenty of other websites to advertise on. However back in this universe, the most sympathetic interpretation of events is that Musk has a debilitating social media addiction causing him to regress to the adolescent edgelord phase. And so the argument that the site is a content-neutral conduit falls completely flat when the chief forum admin is spending his time personally boosting the vile content!
