"I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means"

—Elon Musk, April 2022

That is not what free speech means, particularly not on a privately-owned service :) but him and us all know that.

It's not what Free Speech means, but in the run-up to his buying Twitter, that's all it seemed to mean in many of the discussions. Of course, we know that they weren't serious about such things as shown by their silence in the face of Elon's actions.

Exactly. He has the free speech right to ban them from his platform. He was hoping they'd stick around long enough for him to do that.

I hope you forgot to use the <sarcasm> tag.

I assumed it was obvious, which made an ass out of me. (You are doing just fine, though.)

[tambourine_man → jfengel]

Nah, just making sure. You never know, the internet is a weird place.
