    That they’re also associating with Nazis? Yes. They need to stop.

      Funny. I meant, does this also mean Musk agrees with every single viewpoint expressed on the platform, because he allows their presence?

        He doesn’t retweet every single viewpoint expressed on the platform.

        He does retweet Nazis.

            I’m sure you’ll just say that’s not enough evidence or fake news or whatever. Anything but admit Real Life Tony Stark is maybe not Real Life Tony Stark.

              Despite Musk’s devotion to free speech, he has atoned for some of his mistakes. Fuentes was once again suspended after a few days,

              Sounds more like a free speech absolutionist rather than a nazi supporter to me.

              This is pretty tenuous evidence to make such a bold claim.

              Also, do you think “zuck is a cuck” is an insult exclusive to the far right? And there’s nowhere else he could have heard it?

                I gave you seven links. You quoted one line from one link. How dishonest of you.

                And yeah, he’s such a free speech “absolutionist” (not a word) that he does things like ban people for reporting a story about him.

                  You gave me seven links that, at best, show a tenuous link to these people. I also didn’t see anything about him retweeting nazi rhetoric.

                  You’re just pissed because people are allowed to disagree with you.

                    When did I say people weren’t allowed to disagree with me? When did I even imply it? Please quote me. Unless that was a lie.
