“Last week we got a letter from Elon Musk’s X. Corp threatening CCDH with legal action over our work, exposing the proliferation of hate and lies on Twitter since he became the owner. Elon Musk’s actions represent a brazen attempt to silence honest criticism and independent research in the desperate hope that he can stem the tide of negative stories and rebuild his relationship with advertisers.”
[With apologies to anyone who dislikes endless Musk/Huffman spam in this community. I put it here because misusing the law to silence independent tech researchers this has wider implications.]
But all the Musk bros told me he’s a “free speech absolutist”

They absolutely want free speech as long as it’s speech they agree with!
Hate speech. They want hate speech. Stop trying to dress it up as something else. They want hate speech.
Can’t you read? Lawyers for Musk are promoting free speech by threatening people with lawsuits. That’s how free speech works. /s
Free speak isn’t free, it costs $8 per month.
Musk: Free for me NOT thee.
“Absolutist,” according to him, meant within the laws of whatever country it was operating in. So, ‘free speech’ North Korean style is something he favors.
