Musk is about as honest about his free speech platform as he is about FSD and his video game skills. The first mistake people make is believing him. Free speech to him means silencing people who are critical of him, and re-tweeting actual verifiable Nazis he let back no the platform.

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, suspended a number of high-profile journalists Tuesday, including Steven Zetti of the Texas Observer and Ken Klippenstein of the Intercept. The pages for each of the suspended accounts offers no explanation for their removal and does not say if the suspensions are temporary or permanent bans. Each page carries a short message that “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”

“If you are one of those people who actually believe that Elon Musk is a principled champion of free speech, then you maybe one of the dumbest people to have ever walked the earth,” said former MSNBC host Medhi Hasan on X, one of several high-profile journalists taking to the platform to accuse Musk of censorship.

And this doesn't even get into how he manipulated the platform to help Trump get elected.
