Captain Free Speech strikes again!

After censoring journalism, he’s now incorporating anti-competition censorship on his free speech absolutist platform.

Who’d have thought that having one corporate billionaire in charge of Twitter was going to end up in anti-free speech and anti-competitive measures?

To be real, I think Twitter is a shitty environment full of dog whistling, virtue signalling, and weird aggressive pessimistic “true fan” crusades. Now it’s in fast decline—maybe society will be better off if it ceases to be important.

But it’s still funny seeing all the Elon Musk “He’ll save free speech in the new free speech town square!” getting proven wrong. Now they’re retreating into The Steel Caves of Hypocrisy (also, as legend has it, the original title of a great Isaac Asimov book). It turns out his supporters were lying about being free speech absolutists. They were just common cultists without any ethical standards, devoted to the histrionic billionaire who bought the golden calf.

You guys know you can leave cults, right?
