It was always pretty transparent what "free speech" meant to Elon (and many others like him). It means "I personally should be able to say and do whatever I want without consequences".

The week before he tweeted about "free speech absolutism" he canceled a dude's Tesla order because they criticized him on X.

I think it's more "I'm not accountable to you people". At least that's my position. Left wingers seem to think I have to care what they think about what I say on the internet. I do not, and I will not.

  • Right wingers sure do care a lot when the rest of us don't want to hear what they say though

    • The rest of who? The fringe left who is simply adopting positions that were spoon fed to them? Yeah not terribly concerned with your wants, that's accurate.
