Elon Musk. Censorship opportunist. Trying to shut people up by threatening bogus lawsuits.

Yes, Media Matters is the epitome of a censorship opportunist. The CEO actually stated that the intent of his latest threat is to affect the outcome at the ballot box. Standard formulaâat a time when antisemitism is a hot topic, and something Musk tweets can be twisted into meaning something antisemitic, threaten advertisers in order to take down the platform. Theyâre going to take their ball and go home. CCDH 2.0.
Itâs always entertaining to watch censors try to bottle up thoughts to pretend they donât exist, but often amplify the ideas they are trying to suppress.
Musk is threatening Media Matters to try to shut them up. He only cares about protecting speech which which he agrees.

Musk insisting heâs not anti-semitic, itâs just the media portraying him that way for you know, sharing his actual words.
Also Musk saying Jews hate white people. Or on second thought, maybe not all Jews but definitely the ADL, and maybe some other Jews. Or maybe most Jews. But itâs not his fault they hate white people, he just said the truth.
And although he said it, his words were in Schrödingerâs box until the media reported it and made his words real so itâs really all the mediaâs fault because he never actual said it until the media reported him saying it which he never actually said even though his post is right there which it isnât.

Huh, seems like Iâm not the only one thinking Yaccarino is destroying her reputation by remaining at X.
Just by being there she comes across as an ineffective figurehead. But by actively indulging in straight up gaslighting and wishful thinking sheâs building a reputation of her own as being untrustworthy.

Translation:
How dare you brake-up with me for cavorting with sleaze! If you brake up with me, well then I brake-up with you! Thatâll teach you!
Yep.
The advertisers are expressing themselves by staying away from the cesspool that Twitter has become. And Musk is expressing himself by throwing another pathetic tantrum.

Nice bomber jacket. Who dresses this guy? The Red Baron? 
At the beginning of the interview, Musk says he only sat down with ANDREW Sorkin, because they were friends. And then the knucklehead calls him Jonathan. Doh!

That free speech is worth what we paid for it.
Musk: âIâm a free speech absolutistâ
Also Musk: âActually I meant you absolutely must pay for my speech because youâre not entitled to free speech, only meâ
