My entire life free speech was a liberal value and I believe it still is. Why are people saying it's conservative all of a sudden?

Prediction: Twitter becomes more efficient, focused and profitable than they ever have been. And it will return to the platform neutrality and free speech ideals it had prior to 2015ish.

The difference is a highly engaged set of authoritarian activists who will assassinate your character and get you fired. Other groups don't have the equivalent of a Red Guard to enforce their ideology or religion.

Saying "the Earth is round" is hateful from the perspective of flat earthers. Would you apply the same logic equally and make it an offense to satirize this particular belief? Or to bring it full circle, I doubt the Bee would peti

Classic case of projection here. "Always accuse your enemy of exactly what you are doing"

Point taken. It's messy. You could even say that simply replying "the Earth is round" is harassment if it's repeatedly targeted at an individual or flat earthers as a group. But this is what the block or mute button is f

Engineering. Finance. Management. Electric cars. Charging stations. Satellites. Reusable rockets.

Millions of electric cars, thousands of charging stations, thousands of powerwalls, thousands of Starlink satellites and re-usable rockets weren't delivered? No one delivers 100%, but that's a historically exceptional track record

This is why so much hate is directed at Elon. His repeated success in different domains causes severe cognitive dissonance. It's an in your face painful reminder that success isn't entirely due to luck. It's a lot easier to d

That's the same as a flat earther saying it's harassment when someone says "the earth is not flat". Meghan Murphy was banned for saying the earth is not flat. "Men are not women tho". https://twitter

Millions of nutters are already loose on there. This is about not wanting the "other nutters" on there along with "our nutters". Which will make things worse in some ways, so keeping it confined to one set of nutters is

The idea that pushing for peace is Russian propaganda is itself propaganda. I can't believe how effective the war machine still is, even with Iraq and Afghanistan still fresh in memory.

He delivered millions of electric cars. Re-usable rockets. Starlink. Moderation transparency is a slam dunk.

Of course he's not on Russia's side. No serious person truly believes that. "SpaceX’s out of pocket cost to enable & support Starlink in Ukraine is ~$80M so far. Our support for Russia is $0. Obviously, we are pro Ukraine

It's less unsettling than who's currently in charge of it. At least he's committed to transparency in moderation and the algorithm.

That fits. First they were pissed he wanted to buy Twitter and did everything they could to stop it, including taking the poison pill. Then they were pissed he didn't want to buy Twitter and tried forcing him to buy it. Now both sides

It's not appeasement. It's seeking peace and avoiding nuclear war. That is bigger than any one person. Why are people getting so confused about this?

Why is seeking peace and reducing nuclear risk considered bizarre??

We have laws for separation of church and state, they should be applied to this as any other. This is a religion. It's the same as any religious group trying to impose their morality and beliefs on everyone else. To be a good person us
