@laprice Reminds me of... "Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote." - Terry Pratchett.

@laprice@beige.party When Elon Musk says "free speech", he means HIS speech.

@laprice He thinks we're all NPCs while he and his rich friends are the only true players, i.e.: people.

@laprice people don't understand what absolutism is, and I have to give him props for that: he's been telling people his position on it exactly, and people chose to read it as if he claims to be a champion for universal free speech. That's not what absolutism is.

@laprice He personally intervened to bring back the accounts of open Nazis like Nick Fuentes. Then he made it so Xitter hides posts that use the term "cis". Like Charlie Kirk, Musk thinks "free speech" only applies to opinions he agrees with.
