In my country (Spain) there is an organization called "Centre for Sociological Research", which in Spanish it's called "Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas" (best known as CIS).

So, is that name also a slur, according to the free speech absolutist? What about politicians and journalists who talk about its surveys?

Elon is too busy being angry at trans people to see all this nuance you’re just throwing out there. You think he has time to consider what people are saying or that other people have thoughts and feelings?

I think the free speech absolutist is full of bullshit, and there has to be ways to troll him, like redditors did with spez.

He's already DDOSing himself. What more could we do?

Silencing the speech of a bunch of sociologists is probably a bonus for him

The best way around this conundrum is to recognise that elon is an idiot and just ignore anything he says or does.
