He is not a free speech absolutist that’s for sure

He’s more of an absolute piss baby

[–] TheGrandNagus 18 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I've heard Musk referred to as a piss baby moreso than other dickheads in the public eye.

Is there some story I've missed out on, or is it just a generic insult that's somehow stuck to Musk more than it has to others?

It's essentially saying he's a whiny little bitch, it isn't specific to him

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.

[–] Red_October 8 points 4 months ago

He'll also trample absolutely any rules necessary to support speech he happens to agree with.

His own speech cost 44 billion

Yeah how is this feller making sense of this in his own head? I can hardly believe I once thought this guy had love in his heart.

[–] whostosay 8 points 4 months ago

It's obvious, he tried making sense for a long time and it just didn't work out. He then chose and tailored an audience for the cost of Twitter so he could have an audience that logic does not apply to.

(Note he said that after the "free speech absolutist" claim.)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Well, then I’m going to start writing to my representatives to start passing laws to hold those who spout transphobia and speciesism accountable to the law.

Not to mention that one of the first things he did upon taking ownership of Twitter was to game the entire thing so his own tweets get the most attention on the site.

Honestly, I think that White Dudes for Harris should sue the platform for an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign. It is by definition a media platform and by denying the account they've clearly crossed a line.

He's all about free speech he absolutely agrees with.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Of course not, he is after all a republikkklown
