Is he seriously posting cringe like this?

My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.
it shouldn’t be too surprising that he cheats in online games given that he cheats in pretty much every other aspect of his life as well
The richest man on this planet. What the fuck are we doing
I'd argue that Putin and perhaps some Saudi royalty are richer but we don't know those numbers. But yeah agreed in general of course.
I didn't even see that one, was it like super obviously "in just so good and amazing and smart they banned me for cheating"
Have you met the guy? (I'm sorry if you have)
If by “Free speech absolutist”, he means, “big fat fucking liar”, then I agree with his stupid fat ass.
Free speech absolutist
Whenever I hear that, I know the person is one of the following: bigot, fascist, liar, or so dumb they shouldn't have children.

In the context of this movie, Musk is Theron, forcing himself on the wife of the protagonist and taking all the gold.
That would be a valid description of him, yes

I'm not good at metaphors... Does this mean he's using "X" to shield us from free speech?
It is a good metaphor, just maybe not for the reasons he thinks
Poor fucker never did have a good grasp on reality.
I kinda hate how they want free speech but when someone they oppose says something that's also considered free speech yep it's blocked.
It's always free speech for me, not for you, and my free speech is the hateful kind, but it's not hateful, you're just woke for saying it is.

"Free speech" means "hate speech" when right-wingers say it.
That is the only thing free speech means to them. One sided uninterrupted and unchallenged propaganda.
Fuckhead lies just like his orange catdaddy
Would be funny if chemists couldn't talk about cis and trans isomerisms anymore

As long as he absolutely gets to decide which speech is free and which is very very expensive
This, exactly.
All right wingers that scream about freespeech are screaming for the same thing.
The freedom for them to say whatever they want, and the freedom to silence anyone who calls them out and proves them wrong.
At this rate, social media companies will start censoring Luigi images like China does Winnie the Pooh.
Why the heck don't we just deport Musk to Texas and then secede Texas from the US?
"Secede"
What happened to Mexico?
They moved to Europe after the election.
You can't take mexico to europe, we already have Mexico in Europe.
Mexico in Europe: 🇪🇸

Elon, go back to Africa.
"The new Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach."
- Elon Musk
He was never for free speech. Just claimed he was and somehow people ate it up just like they always do with everything else he claims. He said this less than a month after buying Twitter btw.

Everything Musk says is a lie, just like his boyfriend, Trump.
Censorship Speedrun any%. Less than 12 seconds to censor.
I think he's mixing it up with abolitionist.
Musk is just another dipshit authoritarian, who thinks "speech" is reserved for people that matter (billionaires). He'll sue the ass off of anyone else whos speech he doesn’t like.
Same free speech Putin practices.
Elon is busy turning X back into an echo chamber, except the pendulum has swung to the other side. It's a shame people find such solace in echo chambers -- intellectualism does not progress if you only speak with people you agree with. Indeed, it narrows conversation and thought so much it just turns into a circle jerk.
Guess what? The real world is nasty and dirty and you are never going to agree with everyone. A preschool isn't as safe a space as what Elon wants to (re)create.
I like the balance we've found on Lemmy. We can discuss some pretty conservative ideas, but there's zero intellectual value to transphobia or any other hate speech. People shouldn't be required to re-explain their right to exist every generation.
