It has not and has never been about "free speech absolutism" for him (or else he wouldn't do the things that he is _QUITE FLAGRANTLY_ doing) and the only time he bothers to "take a stand" for "free speech" is in protection of hate speech or for the benefit of his image or wealth. Remember the big deal he made out of the Brazil-Twitter debacle barely two months ago? If he had been directed to block speech that he disagreed with, he would have had no problem adhering to Brazil's legislation and court findings (as he does in many countries, like Turkey and India, mentioned above) - however, because he was set to reinstate accounts determined to have engaged in criminal hate speech and disinformation that he happened to agree with, he decided to take a "stand" for these people and their "rights." It's so transparent and obvious that I can't believe we're still having this discussion.

      it was a completely unrelated screenplay which was basically a murder mystery with androids. sounds like it was a really cool idea, and there weren't a lot of murder mysteries in the oughts. iirc, Fox bought it, and was like, "hmmmm, we also have the license to Isaac Asimov works." then smushed them together and ramped up the action once Will Smith got attached.

      @@seekerofthemutablebalance5228 I love him. He's so cringe. It's so bad that it's good. It's been more than a year? And he's still not over Elon taking over X, lol

      I don’t want to see it any day. Especially that weak ass beard he tried to grow to seem like a regular guy.

      I have days like that. Only the ones that end in "Y", though.

    Elon does not care about free speech. His version of free speech is the free speech your mom says we have at home. Its a knockoff version of free speech.
    Twitter Users: Hey Elon, do you have free speech?
    Elon: No, but we have freeze peach.

    You can sum up Elon Musk succinctly with what he did in response to the Thai students stranded in a cave.
    1. Musk unliaterally decides to send a submarine kit-bashed from a rocket to Thailand
    2. Everyone who knew anything about caves said that the sub was useless; one diver got particularly salty and insulted Musk publicly.
    3. Musk, deciding to rid himself of this tumultuous diver, made public defamatory remarks about the diver.
    4. The defamed diver sued Musk, and because Musk has more money than anyone could possibly need in 1000 lifetimes, Musk won the lawsuit, literally buying dominance over a critic.
