can we please stop with this 'freedom of speech' bogeyman that Musk spouts? He cherry-picks what previously banned accounts get unbanned, he fires employees for making public tweets he doesn't like, as well as firing employees for making comments in company slack channels critical of his leadership - which is a notable departure from previous company policy.

Of course if employees don't believe in leaderships vision they might not be a good fit. Of course a company looking to cut costs is going to look at trimming their workforce. This all makes sense, it just has absolutely nothing to do with free speech.



Oh I don't believe that compulsive liar for a second, I'm just saying that it triggered some people once he started talking about maybe "moderating" (censoring by any other name) less of it
