“ outside a few harmful examples, like… hate speech”
So “hate speech” now constitutes harm? So much so that it can be banned?
Is the phrase “the royal brute of Great Britain” hate speech? Should Thomas Paine have been jailed?
There is no useable definition of “hate speech” which does not transfer power from the people to the state. Anyone who believes that there is shouldn’t be writing about politics.
Musk did NOT build an electric car company from scratch. He is a venture capitalist that invested in Tesla, a company that was founded by two other guys in California.
Free speech is only “complicated” if your goal is to silence speech you do not like.
Ignorant? LOL at Devin.
A legend in his own mind. Maybe he was trying to impress his boyfriend?
“Considering how totally leftist MSNBC.com, NBC New and the others are, a decently knowledgeable person would definitely consider his bruiting to be at best, leftist opinion, lack of facts, and utterly ignorable and forgettable.”
I once worked in a building that housed the MSNBC offices, I had a nice corner office at the far end of left wing.
MSNBC had their office and production in the Right wing, but they were sequestered. They had their own private keycard elevator and did not even realize they only took up about 1/2 the right wing.
I laughed every day as I watched the MSNBC employees turn right when they entered the building to go to work.
Doesn’t “lives in seattle” pretty much say it all.
Hear here! Well and truly stated.
Semimojo, Observator, Here is another Freeper giving free lessons in rationality and common sense.
And he continues.
Now, Devin, if you are saying your outlet has control of its platform and does not need to indulge any old point of view (setting aside Section 230), ok. But the moment you do so at the behest of the Government, you become an agent of said Government and the Constitutional restrictions apply. I believe “collusion” is a word that should sound familiar to you. Does Journolist ring a bell? So don’t collude, m’kay?
Free speech is not a complicated concept. You’re free to say what you think or you’re not. Period.
:)
I have no such expectations of TC.
Does ELON MUSK care? NO.
No kidding...the longer I read, the more I could visualize the sneering, Leftist face and the whiny ignorant voice.
But hey...he likes to project the hipster look, with the glass of scotch in the tumbler! How many selfies did he take before he got that one right????
It's more complex than that.:
“Ian Wright was the third employee, joining a few months later.[2] The three went looking for venture capital (VC) funding in January 2004[2] and connected with Elon Musk, who contributed US$6.5 million of the initial (Series A) US$7.5 million[9] round of investment in February 2004 and became chairman of the board of directors.[2] Musk then appointed Eberhard as the CEO.[10] J.B. Straubel joined in May 2004[2] as the fifth employee.[11] A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five (Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk and Straubel) to call themselves co-founders.[12]
Musk took an active role within the company and oversaw Roadster product design at a detailed level, but was not deeply involved in day-to-day business operations.[13] Eberhard acknowledged that Musk was the person who insisted from the beginning on a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer body and that Musk led design of components ranging from the power electronics module to the headlamps and other styling.[14] Musk received the Global Green 2006 product design award for his design of the Tesla Roadster, presented by Mikhail Gorbachev,[15] and he also received the 2007 Index Design award for his design of the Tesla Roadster."[16]
Pajama Boy must have run out of cocoa.
Partisan Media Shill and Stooge alert.
Dear Mr. Coldewey,
Whatever talents, ambitions, or intents Mr. Musk has he couldn’t possibly mishandle twitter more than the current management has done.
Sincerely,
Sane America
Control Freaks. Allow me to translate for you.
“Hate Speech” = Anything We Don’t Like
Leftist authoritarian control of the Narrative is critical, because they don’t argue (in the formal sense) based on facts, logic, or reason. Keep in mind, there are 2 ways, and only 2 ways, to get someone to do something.
You can try to persuade them. Or you can force them. What they cannot abide is people thinking for themselves, coming to their own conclusions. Restricting information is part of it. Making decisions can be difficult, even with complete information. They achieve their goals by cultivating a dependent, fearful, neurotic class of “ignorant” people - the gaslighting is particularly effective because control of the media means they can really mess with people’s noodle, and boy howdy, do they ever.
Recall the popularity of Rush Limbaugh. Here’s one guy who had an AM radio show, which became popular in part because he was practically the only outlet pointing out the obvious horse$hit the democrats were ladling out every day. He was just saying what everyone was saying, but had no voice in the public sphere. AM Radio! The leftists went apoplectic. Here they virtually controlled 99% of the airwaves on Television, print media, and the rest of it. One guy on a moribund outdated medium, relegated to saturday morning swaps and gardening programs, and a few baseball games.
And they couldn’t deal with that. Recall they had Congress involved trying to ban him. They even blamed him for the Oklahoma City terrorist bombing if I recall correctly.
Sounds like Devin’s got his panties in a wad.
