just change it out to hate speech and it's really accurate

"Free speech" means "hate speech" when right-wingers say it.

"Wait, I meant abolitionist. I always get those two mixed up..."

At this rate, social media companies will start censoring Luigi images like China does Winnie the Pooh.

If musk is so free speech why would I have to give away data just to write something

Fuckhead lies just like his orange catdaddy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That approach to ~~censorship~~ moderation is far too common.

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

I think he's mixing it up with abolitionist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

The free speech is also somehow a shield of all things. What will this guy ~~think of~~ buy next?

Would be funny if chemists couldn't talk about cis and trans isomerisms anymore

In the context of this movie, Musk is Theron, forcing himself on the wife of the protagonist and taking all the gold.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I think you're sleeping on the white supremacist glorification of the Spartans.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

That would be a valid description of him, yes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

somebody who still has a twitter they won't mind seeing get yeeted into the nether (and possibly used for nefarious purposes or dastardly deeds)....

Jump over there and link whatever tweet he said that in; and post "Musk is a fucking fuckface Loser.. That guy who brags about how expensive his truck his because that's the only thing in his life that's impressive."

then please report back how long it takes to get yeeted.

"The new Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach."

  • Elon Musk

He was never for free speech. Just claimed he was and somehow people ate it up just like they always do with everything else he claims. He said this less than a month after buying Twitter btw.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Whatever happened to Elon pulling plugs on critical servers and driving them in rental cars to Sacramento? Why isn’t Twitter dead yet? Did someone finally have the grown up talk?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

you misspelled abolitionist

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Hmm... remember some recent event in NYC?

Why don't we pay our friend Elon a visit and [Redacted By lemmy.world Admins]

I kinda hate how they want free speech but when someone they oppose says something that's also considered free speech yep it's blocked.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

It's always free speech for me, not for you, and my free speech is the hateful kind, but it's not hateful, you're just woke for saying it is.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He's posted way weirder stuff than this.

My guy he posted about being banned from PoE2, a mostly PvE game, for cheating. Literal man child that cannot beat AI enemies.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 days ago

it shouldn’t be too surprising that he cheats in online games given that he cheats in pretty much every other aspect of his life as well

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I didn't even see that one, was it like super obviously "in just so good and amazing and smart they banned me for cheating"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He literally said he was banned for playing too well

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (4 children)

He, or someone he paid to impersonate him online, is the number one Diablo 4 player in the world. I played it for a couple months, it was pretty fun, but to get to that level you'd have to be playing it like it's your job.

The richest man on this planet. What the fuck are we doing

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

I'd argue that Putin and perhaps some Saudi royalty are richer but we don't know those numbers. But yeah agreed in general of course.

People who value and are moved by symbolism and kitch

That's all he does, no reason to get excited

[–] [email protected] 57 points 4 days ago

Have you met the guy? (I'm sorry if you have)

[–] [email protected] 77 points 4 days ago (3 children)

If by “Free speech absolutist”, he means, “big fat fucking liar”, then I agree with his stupid fat ass.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Free speech absolutist

Whenever I hear that, I know the person is one of the following: bigot, fascist, liar, or so dumb they shouldn't have children.
