18/ Musk has clearly signaled whose messages he believes deserve his personal support and amplification:

-Right-wing stooges for Putin;

-Antisemites spouting β€œreplacement theory;”

-Racists who question Black professional skills;

-Anti-LGBTQ trolls

The list goes on.

9/ When one of the richest men in the world uses his own private global media platform to selectively amplify anti-democratic voices, and to prey on those he does not like, that is not β€œfree speech.”

That’s personal psychological weakness, enabled by systemic plutocracy.

7/ I cringe every time journalists and others refer to Musk as a β€œfree speech absolutist.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

The only absolute is Musk’s hypocrisy, as he repeatedly contradicts his so-called principles to serve himself and his pet causes.

6/ The β€œfree speech/content moderation” issue is cynical redirection.

As an ex-Dir of Product Mgmt at Twitter, I care about mitigating harm associated with speech.

As a long-time student of political philosophy, I also care about the value of free speech.

Musk fails at both.

15/ Like Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, and too many other wealthy & powerful men, Elon Musk is a toxic mix of narcissism, insecurity, sexism, and a particularly cruel form of unkindness that seems especially gleeful about punching down on those with less power.

dee slug calamity @FindsANut If you cannot treat a human _as_ a human regardless of their race, creed, sexuality et al, then regardless of colour, you're an asshole.
