    "Above everything, including profit, X works to protect the public’s right to free speech. But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added.

    Good to know you believe in free speech. Elmo. So you won’t mind if companies exercise that right by choosing not to advertise on your racist, apartheid-loving network.

      And the freedom to say “that’s objectionable” and choose not to be associated with it.

        That’s not freedom of speech, that’s freedom of association. Different freedoms. Your point remakns though, I’m not arguing, just pointing that out.

    “We’ll, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions “

    Still don’t think anyone has put it better than Owen Jones .

    This is a win for the status quo bloods and crips.

    To me, there is a lot to bash Musk on, but the twitter files confirmed and should have enlightened many of the problems we currently have with politicians/media/corporations being in bed with each other.

    This seems similar to the Russiagate stories pushed by legacy media.

    Smearing opposition of the status quo, then once the population believes the lies, the truth starts to comes out years later by MSM journalists.

    I make mistakes and I am willing to learn, so please if anyone can articulate and explain in detail?

    Why all the baseless hate against Musk, while we already know enough about how he treats his workers to be against him. No need to be hostile or to lie when talking about him.

        Did you not read all of my response.

        Consistency is required when looking at the problems we have.

        This is happenong to Musk, but the same happens to people on the left.

        Smears happen without proof, just for going against the status quo.

        This seems to be a smear for not siding with Israel, and calling for peace.

        Your response does not help make your point, it does the opposite.

        I am not sure what you are trying to get across.

        Reminds me of Trump derangement syndrome.

        Again, we have enough to bash Musk as is, no need to lie or make up things.

        Do you think the same of leaks done by journalists of how our military functions?

        Your comment does not help, you should have tried to use sentences to help educate me or to state your thinking process.

      Well, you managed one of many reasons yourself…

      we already know enough about how he treats his workers to be against him.

        Yes, but this article seems to be a smear of MSM.

        Due to not siding with Israel and instead talking of ceasefire or peace, same with Ukraine/Russia.

        Looking at the talk he had with Lex Fridman.
