    No, that wasn't politics. It was advertising. Their ads were literally appearing next to Nazi propaganda and hate speech. It becomes politics if politicians force them to buy ads under such circumstances.

    It is politics. Only the Left says that man. Like, self-awareness and whatnot. You're going to have to show me examples over the Nazi propaganda because everything I've seen is a load of nonsense. Musk already said more than once he's defending free speech as long as it's legal. Nothing wrong with that, even if someone wants to creating something out of thin air. All he's doing is rolling back the clock before the thought police took over. The fact is, companies like Disney tried to manipulate him. All they had to do was silently not advertise. But, back to the original point... no they used their dollars in an attempt to _control_ him. That's why he said what he said. I'll never understand why some people can't get this simple fact. Hate for the next target by the news isn't rational that's for sure.

    Sounds like a quote from the conservative radio stations my father listens to.

    So, thinking just because someone is Jewish doesn't mean they're automatically right about everything makes me sound conservative? Ok, sure.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Keep drinking his koolaid. I'm sure it's perfectly fine. :) I can only assume you haven't looked at "xitter" since the take-over. There's a perfect example of Musk's "free speech absolutist" principals on his own timeline. He posted a message claiming absolute support for free speech; someone replied with just the word "cisgender"; that reply was censored for violating their policies against "hate speech". :doh: X now treats the term cisgender as a slur[^] Pretty much every self-proclaimed champion of "free speech" only cares about protecting their own opinions. As soon as someone says something they don't like, they turn into Mary Whitehouse's even more puritanical aunt.

      Richard, you lost me at the Kool-aid comment. This conversation is beneath me and is insulting to my intellect. Do better.

        Yeah, keep ignoring any evidence that your techbro hero isn't the "free speech absolutist" he wants you to think he is. You can just claim the conversation is "beneath you", ignore it, and move on. :laugh:
