Rasterman (nprofile…paqn) The First Amendment and Free Speech are not the same thing. The former only outlines a bare minimum of absolute protections (which have proved insufficient in Current Year) to prevent your government from taking away your rights to express yourself. Free speech goes well beyond that, and implies a free marketplace of ideas, where Big Tech and billionaires don't get to suppress, remove or otherwise disincentivize the expression of ideas they don't like.

Elon does not support free speech - of course, we've already known that ever since he banned slurs. Slurs are free speech, and if you care more about the feelings of niggers than the rights of people to say nigger, you're obviously liable to find excuses for all sorts of other censorship as well.
