Remember back when Elon kept calling himself a Free Speech Absolutist? That just gets funnier every day.
Right-wingers only seem to care about free speech when it applies to themselves. Anyone else and they’ll get talking of “defeating the woke mind virus” or whatever ridiculous way they decide to demonize others.
Reminds me of that Sartre quote
Censorship for thee, not for me.
I hate this little thought terminating cliche. It’s trying to make everything into hypocrisy which it isn’t. Say he banned everyone who ever said anything pro Israel…you can fairly apply that rule across all people, and have disparate impacts.
The problem isn’t that he’s censoring others but not himself, it’s that the rule itself is bad on its face.
-
Man calls himself as a free speech absolutist
-
Same man buys social media platform
-
Same man then mass bans people and removes comments when he doesn’t like their political leaning or they criticise him/his companies too much
How is that not hypocrisy?
If that is what they said, it would be hypocrisy. The cliche is “X for thee and not for me” so the claimed hypocrisy is that he is censoring others and not himself for saying the same things. That isn’t the issue, as you point out the issue is that he is censoring when he said he wouldn’t.

X it’s the new “Truth Social”
Elon bought it to make it the christofascist heaven on earth.
More like 𝕏 is our generations swastika
Are you sure? Here’s real modern swastika:
Although this is not current generation swastika, this is 1970-ies generation swastika.
The Russia today is the same Russia as yesterday and all days before that.
America, like Germany, will elect their new Fascist regime. Enabled by people like Musk, who makes a good modern stand in for Goebels.
History doesn’t repeat, but it sure does rhyme.
When I was young I literally couldn’t comprehend a world where someone like Hitler was elected… by a majority, in a democracy!! It boggled my mind… now, now I get it.
Dumb people gonna dumb
I don’t understand why people don’t collectively quit Twitter and flock to Mastodon. It’s very simple, it’s better for everyone
Because they don’t care
Why are you booing me I’m right
What were journalists and leftists doing hanging out in a Nazi bar anyway?
I don’t get why people still use that platform. It’s so hostile to the users. This is an election year and we’re just going to give him all this influence? Society is a big dumb animal.
They’re all back online now. I mean I dislike the ultra wealthy as much as the next guy but y’all got hate boners
If a couple of years ago “by chance” prominent people on the right were temporarily banned, what do you think the reading would be?
The comments from when that happened a few years ago? Is that was you’re referring to?
Because I’m referring to most of the commenters in this thread having a big 'ol hate circ jerk.
In my head, being on the left used to mean compassion and tolerance, but it’s clearly the same spitefulness as the right. I’m beginning it think this is just how tribalism in general works, doesn’t matter what team you’re on
