    The US government doesn’t prohibit Nazi’s from marching, nor does it silence them. So… What the fuck are you talking about?

    The reason these types don’t do this more is because most people fucking abhore them. Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences, or universal tolerance… It just means the government isn’t allowed to silence their citizens.

    There are exceptions to this when it comes to public safety (e.g. Yelling “FIRE” in a public theater), but overall the US holds firm on allowing people to say and do what they want.

    In Musk’s case, he doesn’t support anything even remotely resembling free speech. He is constantly being called out for silencing people and organizations he disagrees with. He keeps trying to pretend he’s not doing this by projecting his own brazen actions on the very people he’s attacking. It’s a very Trump-esque technique, and it can be very effective among dumb and impressionable people.
