You gotta love the hypocrisy...

"I am a free speech absolutist!" ~First Lady, Elon Musk

"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy. That's why it's the FIRST Amendment. Without free speech, all is lost." ~First Lady, Elon Musk

"Free speech is when someone you don't like is allowed to say something you don't like." ~First Lady, Elon Musk

Thank you for the clarification Adrian.

While Musk did not suspend Stephen King, he has suspended millions of other users, Musks hypocrisy remains intact...
Musk suspended numerous accounts, including comedian Kathy Griffin and former NFL player Chris Kluwe.
On December 15, 2022, Musk banned the accounts of several high-profile journalists from major news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.
Musk's decision to suspend accounts tracking his private jet was a pivotal moment. The account @ElonJet, which used publicly available data to track his flights, was banned on December 14, leading to the suspension of related accounts and those reporting on them.
He recently said, "60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world!...They deserve a long prison sentence."
According to a recent transparency report, X suspended 5.3 million accounts in the first half of 2024.

"FREE SPEECH" shouts Elon and his followers.

For me, but not for thee.

HYPOCRITES!

Orwell, meet 2025 and Trumpistan.
