I thought he was a free speech absolutist?

"Free speech" just means "I want to spout garbage without pushback (like fact checking) or consequences."

Just like undecided voter in the US means in the closet right wing.

He is absolutely for his free speech.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Only for nazis

No, no. Bullshit absolutist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Nope. Just a piece of absolute shit. The nastiest shit always floats to the top and gloms together.

I mean he made it very clear this was not true on like day 3 when he banned the one person he explicitly said he would not ban (the guy reposting public info about the travels of Elon's Jet).

Since then it's become abundantly clear he only wants "free speech" for things he likes and not for ones he doesn't. He wanted control and influence.
