it’s just baby throwing his daily “look at meeeee!” tantrum.
it’ll pass when someone changes his diaper and gives him his binkie.
edit: oh, hey, look at that:
Musk's X delays links from rivals loading, then backtracks
But he said he’s a free speech absolutest! How could this be? /s
If only he’d kept his mouth shut he’d probably be worth another 100billion. He reminds me of all the edge lords on 4chan, except with the unfortunate fact the media keeps reporting the dumb shit be says.
Musk is a perfect, high profile example of how disingenuous most "free speech" proponents are.
The actual, unbiased, actual-town-square concept of free speech like being able to speak up against your government is good and important, of course it is - but that's not what people are referring to on social media, imageboards, etc. They're referring to being able to slur minorities without being criticised, and wouldn't bat an eye at shutting out "libs".
