    I think the point is Musk always portrays himself as a champion of free speech except when it comes to speech that paints him in a negative light, as evidenced by cancelling LEmon's interview and erasing community notes under his posts on X that correctly say he was wrong about something

    He's kind of a bitch

    Exactly. The point is Elmo is a whiny little bitch.

    No wonder UA idolizes him.

    All well and good, but Elon has consistently said things about how he and Twitter support people's ability to say anything they want, whereas in reality we all know he's a giant crybaby upset that 44 billion dollars couldn't make people love him.

    Here's the summary of how this went:

    Elon: please do a show on X, we'll support it because we want a wide range of voices and you can say anything you want without censorship. I'll even let you interview me first as a symbol of how I'm happy to open myself to challenge from the left.

    Don Lemon: cool

    Don Lemon: *interviews Musk*

    2 hours later...

    Elon: Contract terminated.

    If you think Elon Musk, the man who has repeatedly claimed that advertisers pulling their money from supporting him is an attack on free speech, comes out of this looking like anything other than a giant crybaby upset that he can't buy adoration then :lol:

    Don Lemon deserves to be canned for attempting to rehabilitate Elon and Twitter. He knew the whole purpose of getting employed by Elon and the CHUDs was to go full right wing token. There is no two sides on Elon's dumpster fire. The only reason he was hired was so Elon could pretend he had a black guy from CNN so that they could use Don to push Trumpanzee lies.

    Maybe Don should go look to get a paid gig at Stormfront. It seems any legitimate offers are not coming for him.

    No, the point is that people like you are fucking hypocrites. When it's someone you dislike, you're fine fucking with their money to "deplatform" them.

    Never advocated for book burning, and I oppose cops on plenty of subjects, but because I don't align exactly with your programming, none of it counts.

    Fucking lying assclown.

    Yeah, okay, Trump lawyer.
    Trump never said "now burn this motherfucker down, and kill some cops".
    And John Gotti never said "kill this guy".

    You're a censorist. End of.
    Hypocritical fraud.
    If the specific term "book burner" hurts your fee-fees, suck it up.

    It is fucking coming. All the cars are going to rat you out.

    I was filling out a claim to my insurance company to get my front end fixed. The fucking progressive app asked me if I wanted to have the cars GPS turned on to get the location of my car while I was getting the tires changed and filling out the online report. I stupidly clicked yes forgetting I had just told them my cvar was at my home address. I just thought it was a cool thing to know they could turn my car's GPS on and off remotely despite not paying the manufacturer for the service in the first place.

    They turned it right on and then the fucking AI wanted to know why I was at Tire Kingdom. Busted in a lie. Then it would not fucking believe me that I took it to the tire place to make sure my car did not have damage to the suspension and the alignment was OK.

    Do not ever let your car lie on you. Me and Luna C had to have a long talk about ratting my ass out to the insurance company AI. It took less than three seconds for my car to rat me out. Needless to say if I ever have to go on the run I am stealing a car from the 90's.
