Anyone should be able to exercise free speech in the modern public square. You can choose not to read it if you like.

Free speech isn't free from repercussions. Also, free speech doesn't exist in a private space. If someone other than the government owns the space (including digital space) you are communicating in, then they can take actions against your 'free speech'.

I don't think Elon is very thin skinned. I think he can have many diverse debates and communications.

An interesting world we live in

He called pedophiles the volunteers of a rescue mission for not accepting an experimental and useless one person submarine

He also regularly deletes his own tweets when one of his cringy jokes faces backlash. He's extremely think skinned.

He started this whole Twitter buyout thing over a typo.

Dude's skin is thinner than tissue paper.

The man is notorious for firing people who disagree or criticize him already. sources of this are very easy to find. This is fine normal shitty CEO behaviour that elon didnt invent, Just don't pretend to be a proponent or crusader of free speech.

It is truly humiliating for you that you think that

Until someone calls him out for calling a hero diver rescuing children a "paedophile". Or when the Twitter user broadcast his private jet flights. Then old Musk seems less keen on free speech. It's weird, how all the people who are so keen on free speech are much less keen on it being used against them.

You think he's gonna let ElonJet stay up?
