"Free Speech Massacre"

I thought Gizmodo was on the team ranting against X having "free speech." But now that something went wrong with it, they are on the pro "free speech" side?

We need a stronger word than hypocrite. Though, I shouldn't be surprised - G/O Media (who owns Gizmodo, Jezebel, Kotaku) is well known for being peddlers of poppycock.

You are confusing absolute free speech and free speech.

Musk asserts that he subscribes to absolute free speech, but continuously shows that he most definitely does not, usually through being a thin skinned snowflake.

That is not what Musk asserts, while it's an aspirational goal, he has always said twitter is limited by laws of the government they operate in.

Dude. lol.

There are numerous tweets and clips of musk himself stating he is a free speech absolutist.

This whole “within the confines of the law” only came out after he bought twitter and after advertisers left the platform out of fear of absolutist free speech.
