Musk on November 6th:

My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk

“I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that’s what free speech means” —@elonmusk 20220425

(I don’t have a direct link to that tweet, but I’m confident that screenshot tweet isn’t faked.)

And in the 3 minute call where he popped onto a Twitter space tonight, he now says doxxing is zero tolerance and journalists aren't above the rules. But the alleged "doxxing" was the journalist doing nothing more than linking to the @elonjet account.

@elonjet can be found on Mastodon at https://mastodon.social/@elonjet

Incredibly, links to Mastodon instances are now flagged as a safety risk on Twitter.

Honestly, I was on the side that expected Twitter to get better (like pg), and have mostly not been against any of what he's done until now, but this seems like a bad decision all around.

I assume he got emotional because his child was involved, then did this in a fit of rage, and is now unable to admit that he was wrong. There is no way you can look at this and say what he did was right, no matter what political stance you have.

A newly created rule, the violation of which isn't clear either.

I suppose this is unavoidable if you give one person complete control over a platform. Perhaps it should be illegal for big social media platforms to have a shareholder with over 50% of the voting power.

He has been shadowbanning all sorts of people. Ukrainian war reporters, financial reporters, all sorts of stuff. This is just an upgrade to actual suspending accounts from what he has been doing the last 10 days.
