I don’t understand why Elon is fighting for free speech while at the same time banning people on his platform for saying certain words like cis, anything leftist and anyone saying anything bad about him. When Elon is so pro free speech, why not stop the censorship on his own platform?
My friend, Elon is not fighting for free speech. It’s not just him, but because he owns that company, it looks extra bad when he shows his own hypocrisy. Many Washington Democrats and Republicans wish they could censor anyone they disagree with. They only pretend to support the First Amendment when it’s something that backs their agenda.
Also, for someone like him, being hypocritical is a virtue. He’s signaling to potential allies that he’s willing to ignore the rules if they would inconvenience him and his friends.

Conservatives are passionate about “free speech” because “free speech” is much more politically viable than “calling people slurs”.
