"Free Speech Is Meaningless Unless You Allow People You Don't Like To Say Things You Don't Like" - Elon Musk
Aged like milk, eh?
Exactly what a fascist would do.

What a little piss baby.
Total piss baby energy
This guy is single-handedly both showing us the rich didn’t earn anything by being anything other than lucky, and the playbook they use to keep that fact quiet.
"How dare those researchers gather data and then publish factual analysis of that data"
"I will sue you" from Elon Musk has the same energy of a 7 yo boy saying "I'll tell my dad".
I love the smell of free speech in the morning
Only Elon decides what is free speech and what is not.
Get fucked Elmo
Another day, another shocking thing EM has done.
Almost as if it is all deliberate to keep his name constantly in the news cycle...
Ah, a great example of the Streisand Effect in action. If this hadn't have made the news, I'd never have known about this research. Fantastic!
💩
Sue them? On what grounds?
They would only be looking at comments that are publicly visible. You might as well argue that people shouldn't research graffiti scrolled on walls.
I don't know. I dislike Musk as much as anyone but this NGO isn't transparent about their funding and the people involved are way too involved in shitty UK think tanks and politics to not consider them as part of a campaign to reign in on actual free speech in the name of "protecting people from harm".
Stuff like that should be grass roots and not a "yeah we're funded by private philanthropist institutions but we don't disclosure which ones" op.
Nothing about these people feels legit.
You don't have to invoke deep state shady interests when it comes to Musk's Twitter. We've all witnessed the rise of hateful content since he's in charge. Some just bothered to gather the numbers to make a statement.
Even if Bezos and Zuck (or anyone you can think of) ordered the research it doesn't change anything to the really. It's simply irrelevant against facts.
His expiration date is the same as everyones. Once in the ground, your're nobody.
Deliciously ironic.
