I think it is a mistake to think that free speech absolutists are evil people. Their position is that bad ideas are better fought and ridiculed in public space, and forbidding them is counterproductive because it breeds conspiracy theories and removes ability to show in discussion why the idea is bad.
I do not want to discuss if it is right idea or wrong - it is irrelevant to my main point. This idea is supported because a person think it the best idea for everyone, that is not because the person is malicious.
It's not Musk's 100% obviously and completely fake claims of being a "free speech absolutist" that make him evil.
Like most people who claim to be free speech absolutists, he doesn't actually believe the idea at all and it's just part of a cryptofascist's arsenal to profess it.
elon musk is not a free speech absolutist. otherwise he would allow left wing people the same privilege, which he does not
Musk has swatted people he disagreed with. He is the antithesis of a free speech absolutist.
Nah. Until I meet a "freeze peach" nutcase who isn't blatantly acting in bad faith, I see no reason to legitimize their crap...
