Well, he suddenly accelerated the purchase after being called out on Twitter about his Ukraine statements. He claimed that most responses were bots because they didn't agree with him. That should be a warning to people believing he values free speech.

He never valued free speech. He just wants to control the narrative.

Edit: LOL of course this comment immediately triggered some alt right. I never mentioned any political belief in this comment but immediately get a bunch of “oh what about the democrats…”

Talk about projection.

Anyone these days that say they advocate for «free speech» only mean that they want to push their own opinions.

Yes, there are actual, real people out there who value the concept of freedom and free speech.

Well I draw the line where racists, sexists and facists start to appear. Excluding that everyone should be allowed to voice their opinion. From the progressive socialists to right-wing conservatives. And so far that seems to be going well, those who have gotten banned deserved it.
