Musk is a self-described ‘free speech absolutist’ and has been vocal in his criticism of Twitter’s policies on moderating content, arguing that it needs to be a genuine forum for free speech. I am not a free speech absolutist and I disagree with the conservative, free speech fundamentalist approach. The left has exploited free speech fundamentalism and won. So the left lied and said, all we want is an exchange of ideas and robust debate in the form of ‘free speech’. There will be no more free speech fundamentalism but I will permit some dissent when the mood takes me.
