Musk is just another wanna be right wing tyrant. Well I guess he has really been a mini-tyrant for a while. "Free Speech" is just a wolf call to right wingers like him meaning "only when I agree with it" - no matter if it is a lie, hate or just a position. It doesn't matter if it is factual, well spoken or just a position. Anti-Uniion is a right wing thing.
