As long as he keeps saying he’s a free speech absolutist, we have to believe him… Right?
He seems to be very much in favor of his own speech being completely free of any relation to reality.
Elon should be allowed to say whatever he wants without anyone contradicting or fact checking him. His power to be free to say whatever he wants should be absolute!
Everybody knows that you only attain free speech when you control a platform with hundreds of millions of users and can ban anyone you disagree with at any time, for any reason.
Right, and speech free from criticism obviously
There’s nothing more American than bragging about freedom while your freedom is stripped away from you right in front of your eyes.
Ah, so Turkey is who gave Twitter $1bn recently.
They’re also giving us eggs. Hmm
Someone needs to make an inverse-xwitter platform. You’re only allowed to tweet if you prove you’ve been banned on X.
Call it Y
i mean he did it the last time their were elections in turkey too…
People still use Shitter?

I get that it’s trendy to bash Elon, but he has always said that X would attempt to follow local laws:
By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.
He has pushed back on countries who attempt to push their censorship dictates on the world – hence, why many of the account suspensions are only in effect within Turkey:
Some accounts appear to be suspended only in Turkey and not in the rest of the world.
Larger question: Why is Elon/X getting more flak than the authoritarian douchebag – Erdoğan – and his cronies in the judiciary who are censoring and jailing political opponents?
