You mean to tell me the guy who's only rich because daddy ran a emerald slave mine in apartheid South Africa isn't a good person? Never.

I like that his rebuttal is, "He didn't operate the mine! He owned a majority stake, which I inherited!"

As if not being the one cracking the whips somehow makes profiting off misery better.

Hey! The mine was in Kenya or something!

"Free speech" has always been a right-wing dog whistle. It has nothing to do with anyone's legal right, it's a means to claim victimhood and justify attacking others as "defense".

Say it with me: Elon Musk is a Nazi.

He bought Twitter so he could give a platform to literal Nazis and kick off anyone he deems too far to the left. You can tell because that's precisely what he did after buying it. Only the most gullible people ever thought his actions were about free speech for anyone but the far right.
