Elon Musk is probably the strongest defender of online speech from actual government censorship that there is, and he's a hypocritical trainwreck of a person. I really wish that wasn't the case, in either direction. If anyone has been having a hard time accepting this fact, the main guy who was responsible for the twitter files just brought receipts.

Given his recent activities, I'm not so sure about that. It's just a coincidence that he was against government censorship because it happened to align with his own feelings about it. I think if any future governmental bodies kissed his ass and had similar political leanings and opinions to him, Elon's principles would become slightly less principled. I think he cares more about money, clout, and having his own opinions reinforced by fans.

Elon is proving to be nothing but a fascist.

Meta's Twitter clone 'Threads' already has more users than Elon Musk's X

Meta's Threads app, which was made directly to compete with X, formerly Twitter, has now surpassed its direct competition in active US daily users.

There’s no greater example of my shit don’t stink than Elon thinking rebranding to “X” was a good idea. You really must have 100 chodes lining up to sniff your farts in order to sluff off some of your wealth to get to that point.

Mmmm yes, but this goes to 11…

He's flip flopped a few times, saying things like freedom of speech but not freedom of reach. Yet after the disney stuff and ad revenue crash, he kind of reversed. I don't know his official stance, and I don't think he does either

10 years later it will still be “formally known as twitter.” Thanks Elon.

I admittedly like Elon Musk or at least I mostly do but I feel he can be really petty at times and changing it from Twitter to X was simply out of pettiness.

Nah I don't think so. It's my understanding that he has been wanting to name something x ever since PayPal. X the "everything" app or some shit like that.
