What happened to free speech on Twitter? Musk literally asked for this.

Dude is right. I deactivated my account years ago. Twitter is nothing more then high school drama

[davemathews]

I'll never understand why someone who has likely experienced bigotry in his own lifetime can turn around and announce his hatred for another group that has experienced hatred and bigotry.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 anybody else enjoying watching this dumpster fire from a distance? 🍿🍿🍿🤡🤡🤡

When Alex Jones is the voice of reason, you know the guest is crazy AF.

Kanya (a despicable human) showed everyone what a hypocrite Elon is.

Why does anyone assume that Twitter, a private corporation, has any obligation to protect anyone's free speech? Private corporations, with certain exceptions, can set whatever terms of use they wish. If you don't like those terms of use, you can take your business elsewhere. That's how capitalism works, folks.

This is a Southpark episode in the making I hope. This is hilarious!

Elon is like the kid who became a Reddit moderator so he could ban people he doesn’t like. Except he had to pay like 5 billion dollars for it

[mattdummitt]

Conservatives thought Elon Musk really supported Free Speech LMAO

[Futures_Past]

He was only on like 2.2 sec before he got kicked tf off lol … like wtf did Elon think was gunna happen … real smart

[jesse_-]

You know you are doing great work when half to the world turns against you, because the media said so.

[brendareyes]

Freedom of speech Elon!!!! What happened?!

[reeltv]

Yo the way this guy breaks down how dumb Elon is simple and honestly funny.

[flowerpow]

I understand the saying that we are not the worst of our deeds/actions 😬 yikes! But I think Hitler's horrific and evil actions cancel out anything good that he might have ever done in his life. Wow!

[saviyou]

When Twitter did this everyone was all up in arms but when Elon does the same thing, all of a sudden everyone is like "Free speech isn't free"

[Maximoootom]

So that’s what it takes to get kicked off twitter. You literally have to tweet a swastika and Star of David.

[AlexanderDunetz]

Ever thus to the Elon Musk policy of "freedom of ugly speech" that he touted at the outset of his Tweeter acquisition.

[HeartDocAndrew]

"(Disgraced Trumpian) Elon Musk suspends (disgraced Trumpian) Kanye West from Twitter, unveils plan to incentivize advertisers to return (not realizing that he's the reason why they left)" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" and Laus DEO

[chinemeremohaeri]

But, Kanye. You say Hitler is awesome, so what exactly is awesome about him? Even if he was, there are tons of others in history, but you're fixated. It's clear what you're trying to do and it's not far from desecration.
