    We all know the logical conclusion here is that elon is going to get the nuclear codes. He’ll then hold the entire world hostage saying…

    “I’m going to do a very cool dance soon. This is a dance that will make everyone want to be BEST friends with me and say, you are the coolest person I know, El-Man! Which is the nickname they’ll give me and I’ll have jackets made that say it. So I’m going to do this dance on television, I’m going to buy all of the networks that there are and air it simultaneously. Now, if I hear anyone laugh at the dance, which is serious and cool, or post something making fun of this dance on social media (which will again be a very cool dance) then I will incinerate the entire world in a thermonuclear holocaust, a world that mostly consists of my own children and ex wives because honey badger don’t care - I’m rick bickh!!!” [Limp starfish jump]

      This, exactly.

      All right wingers that scream about freespeech are screaming for the same thing.

      The freedom for them to say whatever they want, and the freedom to silence anyone who calls them out and proves them wrong.

    Musk is just another dipshit authoritarian, who thinks “speech” is reserved for people that matter (billionaires). He’ll sue the ass off of anyone else whos speech he doesn’t like.

    Elon is busy turning X back into an echo chamber, except the pendulum has swung to the other side. It’s a shame people find such solace in echo chambers – intellectualism does not progress if you only speak with people you agree with. Indeed, it narrows conversation and thought so much it just turns into a circle jerk.

    Guess what? The real world is nasty and dirty and you are never going to agree with everyone. A preschool isn’t as safe a space as what Elon wants to (re)create.

      I like the balance we’ve found on Lemmy. We can discuss some pretty conservative ideas, but there’s zero intellectual value to transphobia or any other hate speech. People shouldn’t be required to re-explain their right to exist every generation.

    I’m not good at metaphors… Does this mean he’s using “X” to shield us from free speech?
