    Insult Musk on Twitter, wait until posts are censored, sue X for not having freedom of speech. How’s that for American values?

      Freedom of speech only applies against the government. Private companies are free to throw you off their platforms for any reason or no reason at all.

        Well if he isn’t already, it’s only a matter of time before Musk is part of the government (ugh goddammit I want to vomit), and I would not put it past them to attempt to make X some kind of “official” government app. Tons of money for Musk, and the US government now controls the data of hundreds of millions of users, as well as complete control over what is and isn’t shown on the site.

        See how easy it is to come up with this shit? Fascism is easy mode for amoral sociopaths.

      Also threaten to pull broadcast licenses for any news agency that looks at you with squinting eyes. Yay freedom of speech.
