Is that the freedom of speech Elon was talking about? X has become his personal propaganda machine. The man constantly tweets that the media is not to be believed only to retweet hearsay and other reporting that aligns with his views. I see through his bs, but many just eat ti up because it sounds like the echo chambers they find comfort and solace in.

You're such a fricking idiot. Imagine thinking Free Speech means being required to pay someone to host a show on your platform. Now go crawl back into your safe space, bitch

Yeah, I don't like/respect Elon because he's a warrior for free speech, an ultimate arbiter of what's fair/right/etc. Those who view him like that will be let down.
I like/respect him because he a) tells the truth on touchy topics far more than elite counterparts b) follows through on big claims/dreams, be it buying Twitter or going to space and c) does cool stuff with his money that makes the country (and the internet) a more interesting place to be.
In a world where so many of our influencers and elites do absolutely nothing productive and promote misery and self loathing, Elon definitely makes things more fun.

Go back and read it again.
Nobody’s stopping Le-mon from having an X account and saying whatever he wants.

They haven’t been banned. They just aren’t partners anymore. Also, the free speech issue only became an issue when Twitter was censoring at the request or demand of the government.

It’s amazing the arrogance you have when opining from a place of complete ignorance.

In case you didn't read, Don Lemon is still free to publish whatever he wants on X. Elon just isn't going to pay him.
So how is this freedom of speech related?

He said Lemon is free to create content on the platform but Musk isn’t willing to pay him for it. Free speech ain’t free.

Good grief there are some mental lightweights on this thread.
