AI summary:

Elon Musk's stance as a champion of free speech faces scrutiny due to his Twitter platform's direction. While Musk's purported dedication to transparency is questioned, his efforts to shape Twitter into an all-encompassing control hub have raised alarms about heightened surveillance and control. Appointing a content suppressor further fans doubts. While Musk has supported censored individuals, he's also accused of exacerbating divisions. Kanye West's return involves adhering to restrictive rules, sparking worries about constrained expression. The notion of Musk as a free speech advocate is contested, with his actions and intent arousing skepticism. Amidst a shifting Twitter landscape, suspicions grow regarding Musk's role in fostering genuine expressive freedom.

Musk deserves nothing but ridicule, are you opposed to that?

Musk deserves a long drop from a short rope. Aside from that, I'm a no sea lions allowed zone, so you'd best be on your way.

I was just asking you a question.

Yeah, you guys are always "just asking questions", aren't you? That'll be all.

What's wrong with sea lions?

[–] duncesplayed@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I am strongly opposed to it.

Whether Musk receives public ridicule has absolutely zero impact on Musk, and a huge impact on the rest of us. It ruins the community to obsess over someone for no reason.

I disagree. I think it really hurts his ego.
