So why did Elon himself “conflate” sharing publicly available info about his travels with free speech? He literally used this exact example to demonstrate his commitment to free speech.
And after his family was endangered his opinion changed. Are you suggesting that it's not possible for someone to have a real life, personal experience that changes their opinion on a specific talking point? Are you so stubborn that your opinions never change?
So he had no empathy for victims of stalking before, but once it happened to him, his opinion changed?
I don’t have “talking points”. I respected gay people before a close family member came out. I understand that many people in the world have lived experiences that I never will. And I try not to shoot my mouth off, and when I do, I apologize.
But that’s kind of the opposite of what’s going on here, right? He didn’t care that his new policies endangered people until it happened to him. Only being capable of empathy for yourself is not really something to celebrate.
It's not like this was an unknown possible outcome to free speech to someone who travels with security. If he didn't think it through before saying he wouldn't ban the account, then it's just another case of him shooting his mouth off.
He literally bought the company to unban people whose speech endangered people. But he wasn’t convinced the harm was real. I guess it’s all just vibes.
