I disagree wholeheartedly. Censorship doesn't become not censorship just because you agree with the arbiter. Who determines what is true or false if there is no discourse?

Obvious lies about the vaccine were apread regularly. Many of Trump's statements were easily proven false, which is what got him banned. Again, people weren't being banned over opinions, unless they were violent or discrimatory (which leads to harm to individuals). Lies and proven false statements are not free speech.
 
He's a dishonest businessman it has been shown time and again. Richest man only in theory. To maintain that status he needs any excuse to offload Tesla stock before it inevitably craters! Cyber truck nowhere to be seen. Notorious build quality issues. "Full self driving" hurtling people into stationary objects. Ford about to crush all EV sales records.

Discourse doesn't prove things true or false. It's usually just noise where one side is relentlessly trying to elevate their opinion to the level of fact by shouting louder. It does not usually take a lot of work to definitively fact-check the types of things that were being blocked in recent years. Ultimately, if you don't like the way a platform moderates its content, it's probably not the platform for you.
 
This is why i dont really trust Tesla stock or Tesla as a brand in general. The guy is just too erratic and wishy washy.

Inspires zero confidence
Tesla, and Elon, will be credited for kickstarting the EV revolution. Deservedly so. High five. But once the major automakers go mainstream (ex: the Honda Civic EV), which is months away, it’s game over. No way Tesla can hang with their mass-production experience and overall network and partners. I’ve said that from day one - which has been an unpopular pov. And I get why. But it’s never seemed more apparent. To me. That said, I could be completely wrong. Would not be the first time. 😂
 
Wait until we all find out that Bret Taylor is inexplicably pregnant with yet another set of Elon twins. 😂

Of course it doesn’t but nor does the appeal to authority, or eminence over evidence attitude. Stealing the voice of an opposing argument simply means you don’t have a better one. Plain and simple.

Anyway, luckily for us we’re allowed to disagree. Until we’re not. See how this works? That’s a rhetorical question by the way.

I'm expecting Meta [Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc] to be offered purchase by EM, then back out of it...

He will eventually own these companies then shut them down...
 
Hahah.

He'll be sued for billions. There stock dropped because of him. People quit because of him. They laid off people because of him.

Musk is the worst

Ummm....what exactly has he done to twitter thats worse than what twitter itself has done? Counting known bots as actual users to boost their stocks? Bloated employee pool that is bad for their investors? Clearly favoring specific sides of speech and opinion while intentionally sterilizing the platform of types of speech/opinions they don't like?

I neither agree or disagree with either side here, but with that being said...neither side is perfect here.
 
If you thought he was going to follow through with the deal I don't know what to tell you. This was always an excuse to sell off a huge portion of his stock.

It sure sounds like you’ve picked a side when you repeat Elon’s claims word for word.

Opinions are not facts. If you share false information that can get people killed or incite a riot on the capital, you’re not being banned because of “opinions”.

Honda Civic EV? Haha keep dreaming. Honda is a lot slower than Toyota on putting out a EV. Look at Toyota 1st EV that just came out couple months ago. They already have a recall for wheels falling off. There’s no fix for it either. All these EVs with massive recalls.
