If only they learned from every other abuse of power Elon has made on his platform...

It's freedom of speech for Elon - everyone else has to tow the line, or hope to god he never notices them.

It's "toe the line". This difference is pretty important. I thought it was "tow the line" more than half my life because it sounds like pulling on a rope to go in the right direction.

It's actually more sinister. Get your toes on the line we drew. Perfect conformity of thought or action.

They didn't see the previous cases as abuses of power, because he was always hurting people they already didn't like, or in the very least he was hurting people they didn't care about.
