Billionaires to jail.
Musk volunteers soon after JK Rowling,

However, Trump calls him a free speech hero:

"He has called the visionary billionaire chief of X a free speech “hero.”

“Yeah, I’d say he’s a hero. I think that it’s a big part of his legacy,” Trump praised. “I think it’s more important than other things he’s done.”"


I guess they might get a room together.

That is what this thread is about, let us argue by analogy until we are perfectly certain the world is better without Musk or anyone like him.
I don't get you clever dudes at all.

It's just that Musk is not actually supporting free speech with his actions, despite the propaganda con game. It's quite easy to see the appeal of the persona being created, of course, but what Musk is doing in practice is much different from the pretense, even if there are some superficial similarities to supporting free speech for certain groups.

*shrugs* Playing the victim card isn't likely to get much traction here.

You suggest he is playing favorites in the use of language to get important messages onto extra terrestrial satellites.

Oh come on now! People are as free to express criticism, as you are to defend him.

But I think you can do better than this kind of self-pity-by-proxy which is on a similar to level to "you're making the baby Jesus cry!"

And also, why always add these weird twists to what you are saying? How do you expect to persuade with this kind of silliness?

What do you even mean by this?

Samson, I really have no idea if you are writing in this weird cryptic way on purpose or if you are simply not that good at expressing your thoughts in a way that's intelligible for others.



If you choose to be cryptic then you cannot really blame people if they misinterpret what you are saying.



Do you really believe that "young women" as a group rule the world? Do you mean that the world is in fact a matriarchy?



If this is true, then isn't it somewhat at odds with your other claims about transwomen invading their spaces?



Please help me out here and speak plainly. (Another headscratcher for me is how some of the new right-wing inspired by people like Jordan Peterson seem to rail against the likes of Michel Foucault and post-modernists while adopting the same slippery way of using language that is difficult if not impossible to pin down).

Definitely choses to be incoherent, there are quite a few examples around of when he dropped the act.

What about free speech for Media Matters?

The MM fiasco exposes Musk (and you) as rank hypocrites.

Feel free to explain exactly what you mean by this.

I would suggest that there are certain substances known to addle the mind, and make it more likely for a person to be incoherent.

Alcohol for example, and there's a reason why marijuana is often called 'dope'.

Extra terrestrial in this case could mean satellites that are outside Earth's atmosphere, a rare use of the term, but that would be incorrect because satellites are not outside Earth's atmosphere.

It could be referring to the moon, or a message on the stolen Tesla that was sent into space, but I'd suggest that it's more likely that Samson is babbling, Leumas-like, words that he doesn't understand, most likely due to some form of inebriation.

His censorship with regards to Turkey's elections wasn't pretty either.

He's far from an actual "Free Speech Absolutist" or even actually in favor of free speech, if we look at things with "Actions speak louder than words" as the guide. It'd be more accurate to say that he's in favor of speech with him in control.

We are not all that clever, and yet I agree that you don’t seem to get us at all.
