Ugh, because I’m not making a bad faith bullshit first amendment argument


Twitter has 1A rights. It can do this. Note I’m also not making a stupid Section 230 publisher argument either, because that’s wrong too. Twitter/Elon can do this.

The reason this is outrageous is because it highlights what a liar and a hypocrite Musk is. He said legal speech would be protected. He lied. He tried to make a big deal out of the Twitter Files, where Twitter executives met and decided what to do with accounts it felt were problematic. What Musk just did was exactly what he was complaining about, except it was insanely hypocritical.

So the reason I’m not talking about the first amendment is because that’s not the issue.

The solution to Musk being a hypocritical dick is to leave Twitter. And that seems to be where a lot of people will be heading very shortly, and that sucks that he blew up the website.
