Elon is a free speech absolutist, as long as you’re hurting other people and not him.

Is it really hypocritical if he designed it that way on purpose? It’s very clear at this point that he’s fine with trans people being harassed on Twitter and actually wants more of it.

I think this is a pretty common approach to “free speech” by people who don’t really understand what censorship is, and/or are not capable of empathizing with others. It just never occurs to them that when you claim free speech as a basic right, that means that other people also get to speak. It would be funny if it didn’t create so much harm.
