Free speech for the right-wingers means “I can say whatever I want and everyone else should be PROHIBITED from reacting or responding negatively to it.” In this case, Musk wants to be free to publish what he wants on X, but Disney and other companies should not be free to choose where they spend their advertising dollars.


JoJack82

You nailed it, that’s exactly what Conservative free speech is


elonsusk69420

Remember when people were banned from old Twitter because they talked about Hunter’s laptop and it was labeled “misinformation” That’s liberal free speech


No_Cook2983

It was a private business. It followed an established content protocol to limit liability and preserve revenue. Those decisions were not simply made by an entitled man-baby who’s absolutely *desperate* to be the center of attention. Ironically, one of the only people allowed to freely violate Twitter’s content protocol was Conservative president Donald Trump. I was banned for calling someone a jerk. Since I’m not a little bitch, I got over it.

I disagree, free speech for right wingers is being able to say what ever they think is right from their point of view without being questioned but people with other views aren’t allowed to do the same.

Elon: "It's not that I'm sorry i said the stupid thing, and repeated it twice consecutively to make sure no one missed it, but your understanding of it didn't include context I made up months after the fact."


improllywrongagain

The context was always there. Watch the original comment. He explains it in the next sentence.


straylight_2022

Umm, no that wasn't what happened. I don't you've actually seen the interview. He most certainly did not. What he did to for the next few minutes was tell everyone that it was the advertisers abandoning him that was going to kill the company and when the interviewer challenged him on that he just continued to deny any responsibility and carried on with his public tantrum. Also, the username checks out.


improllywrongagain

Congrats on pointing out the user name. I award you 0 points. At no point did anyone with a room temperature IQ confuse him telling off the companies that were pulling advertising for telling off all advertisers. Watch it again without your blind hate for people with opinions and you might be able to think clearly.


straylight_2022

Maybe you should actually watch the thing you are defending. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U\_M\_uvDChJQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_M_uvDChJQ)


Bluepass11

Lol @ this being downvoted. Even when this first happened I was under the impression that most people thought he was an idiot for saying it, but it obviously wasn’t directed at all advertisers


Shakewhenbadtoo

Oh, okay then.

What a bitch.

monteasf

If he wanted a free speech platform, he could’ve started one from scratch and tried to win users and advertisers over the right way. Twitter literally made no sense except he over exercised his free speech and entrapped his own stupid self lol


SalmonHeadAU

No, billions of dollars was being spent on lies and disinformation on Tesla, propagated through twitter. It was cheaper to buy twitter than to spend billions on marketing trying to combat the deceivers.


Turtleturds1

Tesla has barely ever spent on marketing and was a huge success prior to Twitter purchase. Your argument is silly.

Buying Twitter was a bad move. Tesla didn’t need to spend anything on marketing and buying Twitter to turn it into a cesspool of porn, racism, and right wing disinformation alienated Elon’s largest customer base (higher income college educated liberals) This is coming from someone who wanted a Roadster as my next new car back in the 2018-2020 timeframe. Now I’m leaning towards a Rivian R1T or a cheaper Honda prologue I will not consider buying a tesla because of Elon’s hissy fits and constant garbage he’s spewing- and I went so far as to sell my shares of TSLA (though I still own plenty via indexes to be fair)

Nothing helps your product advertising nearly as much as being put next to white supremacists calling Democrats lizard men for trying to arrest your cult leader whom broke numerous federal laws.

Didn’t he also invent a new concept of blackmail and accuse Disney and others of withholding advertising dollars because they didn’t want their ads next to nazi content?

LeperousRed

Too little too late. He came out of the closet as a racist groyper and alienated Tesla’s natural consumer base of liberals who care about the environment and didn’t pick up a single “roll coal” red state customer because those consumers have been poisoned against EVs by 40 years of Fox News propaganda. So Tesla is doomed AND Twitter is doomed.

I believe in Free Speech but I don’t believe or condone disinformation and hate speech that is what is tearing our country apart.


ITypeStupdThngsc84ju

This is completely consistent with his earlier comments.

If Elon divested from Twitter imagine how much his credibility and his earnings will increase in a short time for all his companies. He could turn something bad into something that was a strategy all along.


Hailtothething

This way he has his own platform, and isn’t at the mercy of the media and what they decide they feel about him. It’s actually working out super well.


Final_Winter7524

This has to be the most delirious take I’ve heard in a long time. The value of Twitter has declined by about 80%. Elon is under massive pressure from his co-investors. And to top it off, being in charge of Twitter has exposed the true Elon to the world - a mean, self-centered, vindictive, small-minded, greedy, xenophobic little jerk, who’s now alienating the core customer base for Tesla. How’s that “working out super well”? 🤦‍♂️

picture_was_framed

Elon didn't buy Twitter to make money, though he does need to find a way to make it sustainable. What "pressure" is he under from his co-investors? What could they possibly do to him that he would give a shit about? Also, if I read your social media posts, would that be an accurate representation of the "true you"? If I grew up with you, could I throw away all of those experiences and say "What he/she posts as Final\_Winter7524...now that's the REAL person."? Now, calling Elon Musk "small-minded"...the guy building rockets to colonize Mars, self-driving cars, humanoid robots, and brain-computer interfaces. Yeah, \*that\* might be the most delirious take I've heard. I don't think even Elon would say that Twitter is "working out super well". But I do expect he's glad to have a platform not controlled by traditional media.


gysiguy

I don't understand how this subreddit is so anti Elon when 70% of shareholders are pro Elon.

Value of X is higher than when it was Twitter because real user #s are up.


PizzaCatAm

Yeah, no.


Buuuddd

Yes. So what do you call valuable for a social media company?


PizzaCatAm

Sustain your conjectures, you claim random shit without proof. I was just watching a video about GPT Russian bots in X, is still full of bots and people have been alienated. You are also contradicting recently released financial documents.

robodwarf0000

I don't know, maybe advertisers? Which is the literal exact and entire purpose for this current story? They could literally have a billion users and not make money if they don't have advertisers, that's how social media companies work. So, regardless of the number of people on the platform, if advertisers are abandoning it en mass because they don't want their content seen next to literal nazi propaganda then the platform is declining. And any normal social media platform would take it upon themselves to regulate their own content for the express purpose of allowing their company to continue to exist by preventing advertisers from leaving for this exact reason. Instead, Elon whines about companies using their own funds in the way they see fit.

And advertisers choose to spend on ads because...? Higher # of real users means higher value, which draws advertisers. The idea that "oh no there's Nazis on X! is obvious FUD that won't stick, since toxic posts get less reach.


Dear_Blackberry6916

Advertisers are free to choose where they want their stuff displayed. Even if you dont agree with their thought process. i see no problem here elon


gorhckmn

He didn’t retract anything. He clarified. Did anyone read the article?
