People are justifiably worried about Musk because it seems he's stepping in to support speech he likes, rather than defending speech on principle.

I think they are wrong -- but this is a justifiable worry.

Appalling as @vijaya has tackled a thankless task for @jack for a long time now and he should publicly support her and push back on this kind of toxicity. We saw your high-fives for Elon, Jack, and cool beans, but perhaps show a little respect and loyalty to her. https://t.co/5CNG8JL4jt

amazing how quickly rightwingers go from "Big Tech should not be deciding what is true, free speech should be absolute" to "Elon should ban the New York Times cuz it's all woke propaganda"

Elon Musk says he wants free speech, but his track record suggests otherwise by Lora Kolodny
Musk's free speech advocacy seems to apply mostly to his own speech or that of his fans and promoters.

The scarce input for tech companies is not capital or ideas, but talent with execution capability.

Elon's behavior towards people who are about to work for him is at the point where Tesla shareholders should get nervous about the ability to attract and retain talent.

But creating memes targeting individual executives like @vijaya, who has a long history of trying to balance safety with free expression and fighting for the privacy of users, is completely unacceptable.

Executives at Elon's other companies need to tell him he's out of line.

I’m putting this out there now.

I think the @twitter acquisition is going to fall through and @elonmusk is not going to acquire it.

Watch this space.

Elon, this is not how the right wing in this country operates. They will only credit you with neutrality if you are privileging them. That's the price for getting them to say you've earned their trust. https://t.co/5om078by3i

Oh no.

Hot take: Since today’s right-wing politics is so performative, driven by exaggerated and manufactured grievance, Musk could make no significant policy change, just believing Twitter is owned by one of them, fighting their enemies behind the scenes, will (somewhat) placate them. https://t.co/Nz40IT6AES

Jim Jordan thinks reporting child molestation is also stupid so keep that in mind when weighing his comment here. https://t.co/RBnY3fcOyW

Or we could normalize sexual pleasure as a healthy and completely normal thing instead of acting like it’s some shameful thing only to be found inside “special stores” on the freeway https://t.co/6uLHvDoy8A

Genuinely kind of amazing that this is one of the first things some people on the right thought to tweet once they believed there wouldn’t be any consequences to it pic.twitter.com/G77hrcruqU

Elon Musk Isn't Buying Twitter to Defend Free Speech by Adam Serwer
Business moguls tend to be big on protecting speech, right until it hurts their bottom line.

Yes, there are definitely a set of tomes labeled “Shadow Banning,” and inside them are the handles of all the right-wing politicians who have so much trouble getting their messages spewed all over this site. https://twitter.com/tsalmoth/status/1519401307978752002

Was. He. Arrested? Why does this 26 year man continue to break the law and every police agency just lets him get away with it? It’s not “up to the voters to hold him accountable.” I’m so sick of that bullshit answer. He’s a criminal. https://t.co/BgCnx5WbI9
