Elon Musk’s Commitment to Free Speech Is Bogus
Elon Musk calls himself a “free speech absolutist,” insisting that freedom of expression is the “bedrock of a functioning democracy.” His impulsive bid to buy Twitter was motivated, he claimed, by a desire to let users say whatever they want within the confines of the law. He would invite Donald Trump—who is currently using social media to promote QAnon—back onto the platform, so deep is his commitment to freedom of speech.
