    Still not sure why you’re counting someone who bans people as “trying the free speech thing.”

      He made a big show about free speech and he got slated for it.

      No one is going to try that again.

      I’m not sure what you aren’t getting. Did Musk talk a lot about free speech? Yes. Did he do things that were pro free speech? Yes. Did he get slated by a lot of people for both those two points? Yes. So why would anyone or any business try the free speech again?

      All that above is an argument in isolation. I don’t see why that wouldn’t hold as a solid justification that free speech wouldn’t be tried again. What is confusing in that?

      Has Musk done non free speech things? Yes. Was there a big outcry about it and people saying that is around and free speech is a goal? No, not really. People use it as a lolz got you thing. But as a fundamental argument of people copying that, people are for it. His lack of free speech has been seen as a good thing.

        Did he do things that were pro free speech? Yes.

        No. Again, he banned people for saying things he didn’t like. Not illegal things. Things he didn’t want them to say, including journalists who reported on the bannings. How is that free speech? Why is this not getting through to you?
