He is not a free speech absolutist that’s for sure

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

He's all about free speech he absolutely agrees with.

(Note he said that after the "free speech absolutist" claim.)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Not to mention that one of the first things he did upon taking ownership of Twitter was to game the entire thing so his own tweets get the most attention on the site.

Honestly, I think that White Dudes for Harris should sue the platform for an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign. It is by definition a media platform and by denying the account they've clearly crossed a line.

Well, then I’m going to start writing to my representatives to start passing laws to hold those who spout transphobia and speciesism accountable to the law.

Of course not, he is after all a republikkklown

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

His own speech cost 44 billion

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

He'll also trample absolutely any rules necessary to support speech he happens to agree with.

He’s more of an absolute piss baby

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I've heard Musk referred to as a piss baby moreso than other dickheads in the public eye.

Is there some story I've missed out on, or is it just a generic insult that's somehow stuck to Musk more than it has to others?

It's essentially saying he's a whiny little bitch, it isn't specific to him

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah how is this feller making sense of this in his own head? I can hardly believe I once thought this guy had love in his heart.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

It's obvious, he tried making sense for a long time and it just didn't work out. He then chose and tailored an audience for the cost of Twitter so he could have an audience that logic does not apply to.
