Advertising combined with politics equals propaganda. This seems to be Musk's vision for "X" --- a place where propaganda of all kinds can be freely promoted.

Advertising combined with politics equals propaganda. This seems to be Musk's vision for "X" --- a place where propaganda of all kinds can be freely promoted. A place where "free speech" is maximized --- but only if Musk agrees with it. Only one small problem for Musk's vision --- the people with large advertising budgets are seeking first and foremost to maximize profits --- not propaganda. Political propaganda can actually be counter productive to their objectives. In other words, Musk's vision in unrealistic and speaks to a mentality that is somewhat out of touch with the basic nature of advertising.
