Just to be clear, I’m not trying to say that Musk is confused about what free speech is – I’m saying he’s confused when he hears ideas that conflict with his worldview. He cannot process the idea that contradiction of his beliefs should even be possible and that drives him wild with rage.
I think it’s important to understand that Musk doesn’t think of most other human beings as “people” and he does not consider what they say as “speech”. His worldview is entirely solipsistic and the only speech that exists is the speech he produces and the reflections of it that come back to him. To Musk, everything else is the braying of animals with diseased minds.
It’s not that specific. It fits a lot of Social Darwinists that were born into money. Most just have the good sense to keep their voices down in public.
The solipsism and all this kind of stuff is very specific to me. Just because it “fits” doesn’t mean it’s actually the case though. Do you personally know people like this, that also keep their voices down? Like, are there any examples to share?
It’s a pretty common belief in elite circles. For example the Trilateral commission describes itself as an organisation focused on “our roots as a group of countries sharing common values and a commitment to the rule of law, open economies and societies, and democratic principles” yet it was specifically set up to stem “excess democracy” in Europe and the US.
They don’t see it as hypocritical. Democracy for them and democracy for you are two different things.

This take is so very, very specific 😅 Are you a psychologist or similar?
