Where is the Free Speech Absolutist outrage? What happened to the answer to bad speech is more good speech?

Can I conclude that both of those positions are by and large rhetorical shams?

It was always pretty transparent what "free speech" meant to Elon (and many others like him). It means "I personally should be able to say and do whatever I want without consequences".

The week before he tweeted about "free speech absolutism" he canceled a dude's Tesla order because they criticized him on X.

I think it's more "I'm not accountable to you people". At least that's my position. Left wingers seem to think I have to care what they think about what I say on the internet. I do not, and I will not.

Right wingers sure do care a lot when the rest of us don't want to hear what they say though

The rest of who? The fringe left who is simply adopting positions that were spoon fed to them? Yeah not terribly concerned with your wants, that's accurate.
