    Yep....these mediums that want to limit free speech for political bias need to go.

    I don't think Musk is saying anything about all websites. Just his own website.

    Private companies don't have to allow shitty speech.

    I think if they want to do that and can be successful they are fine. It's a private company so they should be able to what they want.

    I'd love to read more about what actually makes Musk a racist. So far I'm not able to find that he has done anything racist.

    Can anybody who knows please point to some evidence of racist behavior actually perpetrated by Elon Musk?

    I would like to see this too. I haven't seen any direct racist behavior from him.

    I will say it looks like he is going to allow racism on Twitter, and if he does then he makes himself part of that.

    They don’t have to ban everything you deem shitty, either.

    I think it’s mostly about his likely decision to allow racists back on Twitter and perhaps being raised in apartheid South Africa and the multiple lawsuits by black Tesla employees but just spitballing

    Isn't judging somebody based on where they are born prejudice? Shouldn't we judge people based on actual evidence of their actions?

    I'm asking for actual evidence... I'm assuming you have some judging by the conviction in your response. Would you care to share it?

    When he allows people on who are racist (he will) in the name of “free speech” , thereby tolerating it, he is supporting it, or agreeing with it. We will have to wait and see. The excuse of “free speech” to allow hate speech will be common. He’s already made plenty of statements on his own about his thoughts on the matter. Why is it that the MAGA people are so excited about Musk buying Twitter? Hm.

    Because everyone who wants to be on twitter is already on twitter.
