Elon Musk and free speech.

As long as you’re not questioning why he (a non-elected non-govt official) is meddling so deeply in American politics. And why he’s speaking to officials of other countries at his own behest, you’re fine.

The lesson is not ours to learn. Unfortunately we’ll all bear the consequences.
The shoe is in other foot. Shadowy figures have been bankrolling l politicians for ages. The worst is George Soros who has spent billions subverting everything without being vocal.
Musk is outspoken and he has been offered an advisory job . He has the loudest megaphone on earth and frankly speaking it's his right to speak out.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f):
Oh boy grin

Is it only his right or do other people have a right to speak too? I thought X was all about free speech?

Why is he suspending and demonetizing accounts that speak up against him.

Wait! Are you for or against “free speech”? Or does it depend on what you think Elon would approve of?

He just told you the truth, you democrats are damned too hypocritical. If we're to count the number of billionaires and dark money flowing into and controlling politics in the US, the majority are on the democrats side but you pretend you don't see it only for you to start screaming when someone like Elon gets behind a republican candidate as if it is something that has never happened before. Enough of the hypocrisy please.

The Biden admin instead pushed the theory that it jumped from animals to humans . Went on to censor voices that said otherwise especially on social medias like the $1 million donor to Trump inaugration Zuckerbucks.

The curtain is falling on the Biden admin. The crimes they covered up will come to light .Can't wait.

Oh he’s very much meddling.

Where’s Vance anyway?

He seems to have scuttled into obscurity. I hope people hold him to the same standards they held Kamala to.

Expecting her to make presidential decisions while a VP. Time will expose the ever obvious hypocrisy and double standards.
You are only complaining because it's from the right, trump and not the party you blindly support.

Just as anyone, Elon can speak, trump and other can choose to follow it or not.

This is so off point. Focus pls

I’m not talking about his obvious arrogant meddling. He can do that like you’ve correctly stated. Even when there’s obvious conflict of interest. But I digress. See what you made me do?

Anyway, I’m talking about his silencing of those who are speaking up against the meddling. He bought twitter because he wanted to liberate Americans and give us “free speech”. Why is he suspending accounts and demonetizing the people speaking about it? Isn’t that oppression of free speech? The same thing he claimed to be against?

Find and give us a defense for his actions. Quick.

Laura Loomer accused him of buying loyalty 5 minutes after Trump was shot. That was a low blow from her for real.
Democrats accused her of being involved with Trump because she was always around him . Now that musk is always Trump, case of sour grapes

So free speech has limits?

I thought he was a “free speech absolutist”. Didn’t he say “moderation is propaganda for censorship” and everyone should be allowed to say whatever? Even if it isn’t true? When people were spreading harmful health misinformation and dangerous racist rhetoric, didn’t he support their right to free speech and us snow flakes were supposed to suck it up?

Did we all dream that era or were those his actual words Mr Absolutist Musk.

Small Laura has hurt his feelings and he’s going on emotional rampage grin

Honestly this is low hanging fruit. Because duh. Anyone with half an eye can look at that man’s smug arrogant face and see that in no universe is he in favor of any speech that doesn’t boost him and his massive ego. We could all see it. Y’all not being able to see such obvious character flaws make me question your discernment.

This is an obvious lie, can you mention the people whose account were suspended for saying something negative about Elon Musk? Even Laura Loomer that has been attacking him all day long is still active on twitter.

Dude she was suspended for 12 hours before she became active again. And of course her verification was removed so she can’t be monetized while it’s off.
He’s punishing her for speaking against him. How’s that not anti free speech?

And…..Laura Loomer is but one person. He’s been doing this since he bought the platform. Suspending accounts of journalists who speak out against him.

How does the bottom of his shoe taste Mintus?

Free speech absolutistism. Obnoxious characters like those you mentioned were the ones screaming for people to be banned .
X is full of bots , They have to be removed for they are a nuisance , X is in it to make money.
Since democrats lost , the left just looks for anything to critic. Oh Trump said he will use his right hand to get sworn, he using his left.. impeach him Oh he said he would stop Ukraine war in a day, it's been a month ..... Whining like immature toddlers
Bloomberg is a billionaire who threw in money to prevent Trump from winning. These journalists are part of the same mob whining about Elon when their whole production crew can't do simple maths.

Germany Bundestag dissolved, fresh elections next year. Chancellor wants Elon to keep his 200 million X followers knowing he supports AfD.
The liberals are losing. Their minds too. EU been horrid for them, their enemy is the MAGA equivalent of nation first. Georgia, Romania, Germany, Italy, Netherlands UK, Denmark etc have pro EU fighting to keep their nations under globalist control.
I support EU it does a lot of good. I dont like it's association with WEF group though. It can be sn economic union, it should not have powers to decide trivia like curvature of bananas that can be imported into all 27 members.

Weak responses.

You know sometimes when someone you believe in so much is embarrassing you, it’s okay to be quiet and take the L in peace. You wiggle too much in their defense you start to look like wiggly worms.

Of course basilico. Those journalists he suspended for writing about him were bots. Even though they had names, faces and companies they worked for. Maybe you’re a bot too.

Indeed bemeruca. It’s only in my imagination that Elon claimed he’s a free speech absolutist.All that never happened and earth doesn’t revolve around the sun.

No wonder nobody in their right minds will take anything any of you say at face value. If you have no shame about the way you lie, it makes sense that anything either of you say has to be quadruple checked. 😩

Boy, it looks like some accounts that disagreed with him are not only loosing their blue checks, but being purged.

As well as groypers nazi accounts that we the supposed snowflakes complained about, but were told to tolerate in the name of free speech, are also getting nuked because they turned on elon.

It's been quite entertaining.

This whole bit of knowledge you seem to have magically developed would have been useful if only you learned it early enough. That people taking one on for likes and retweets even when they’re spewing lies is suboptimal. I guess it had to happen to Elon for you to grasp it.

1) Haven’t you noticed that telling others lame stuff like “cry” “tears” “emotions” etc are ineffective words when you’re trying to squirm your way away from an embarrassing position facing you? Silence can be golden sometimes. The doubling down is shameful. Don’t you feel shame?

2) Taking the side of who? Pls don’t digress. I’m asking Elon to stand on his free speech absolutist stance. He would walk the talk that he used to gain republican support. Promising everyone freedom to say whatever they wanted. Well until you said something he doesn’t like. 🤣🤣🤣.

3) Republicans are the party of racists. Just like Laura , they don’t want legal immigrants either. We tried to tell y’all but you refused to learn. You think Laura is the only republican against legal immigration? oh you guys didn’t have the foresight and social experience to understand the clues around you. Clues that screamed they didn’t like migrants legal or not. Or you thought you’d be the exception?

Elon has 210 million followers. Going head to head with him raises your profile esp when he responds More likes, more retweets, more followers and if one has monetized X that means more money. A lot of people make money promoting products on X.

About immigration. There are many people who have been fired after outsourcing to India Definitely there is a large group of people who resent immigrants both democrats and republicans.
Midwest Republican areas employ a lot of illegals in their ranches,farms , businesses and factories. Don't just blanket .
Most immigrants are democrats , it's the democrat's policy to have as many immigrants as possible, these are future votes. Dont delude yourself that white democrats love you. They gladly put immigrants on the dole, after all govt is paying not them. If they loved illegals they would gladly house them.
H1B visas have been abused for years , that's what I can conclude from the comments I have seen on conservative sites.
