I thought X was all about free speech and no censorship?

So like, I can go on X and spew hateful lies about covid, about Jan 6, about trans people, about wokes, etc, but this crosses a line?
I don't understand how this could possibly get you banned.
Musk
Clearly hateful content
Elon is such a fragile little snowflake.
A true free speech absolutist!
If the term 'mongoloid' is now verboten, can we modify to apply to a singular individual, say Elongoloid..?
I’d rather not
Mongoloid in that context is a reference to people with Down’s syndrome having similar eyes to Asian people, who were referred to as the mongoloid race.
Using elongoloid I think just brings back the dehumanization of those two groups. Plus it uses people with downs as a benchmark for stupidity, which I think is wrong (there’s a very wide spectrum of capability for Downs people).
I like the Forest Gump philosophy: “stupid is as stupid does”, and Elon Musk does more stupid on a daily basis than any downs person I’ve ever met, and probably in all of history.
Side note: my sister has Downs, so making fun of them is a bit of a trigger for me. I like a good natured ribbing and can take jokes, but that’s my off limits area. I hope you don’t take my comment the wrong way, I’m not mad or offended, just throwing in my thoughts.
+1 for DS. My son wirh DS can operate PowerPoint better than some of my coworkers :)
Careful, one of his fellators may find your comment and kek you. Or whatever it is they do.
Personally pissing off President Musk is going to become a great little pastime of anyone with some extra time on their hands and I am absolutely in favour.
I'm envisioning a commemorative t-shirt, along the lines of:
"I was banned/demonetized for criticizing X or its CEO."
Geez! Tone down the rhetoric!
