See I have no issue with what Musks doing.
My issue is with what hes says, because it doesn't line up with reality. And the simps then
He has business interests that make any open criticism, by him or on the platform, of some regimes a problem. Some all the time, some some of the time (eg Turkey during elections)
So lets drop the "i want twitter to be the global townhall" crap. Your simply not willing to allow it to trump your other concerns and hence is a meaningless soundbite.
Then you get onto the free speech absolutionist which ends up with similar issues in what he says and reality.
IF, and this is what most people have known all along his primary concern is his money, and not what he says then its easy to see why he doesn't follow through on global townhall and actual free speech.
Because if he cared more about them than money he would call Beijings bluff. Fat chance of that, just like every other Western company as stated.
If we could all agree hes just a typical businessman, doing typical businessman stuff then it would be a hell of a lot easier to actually recognise and realise what hes doing.
Its only a problem because people keep insisting we take things he said at face value when reality proves its not true.
