Elon Musk is a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist. Twitter has banned people for making fun of Biden Administration officials and telling unemployed "journalists" they should learn to code. And the Washington Post, or at least some dinkus from WaPo, claims Musk investing in Twitter is bad for free speech. Critics say this dinkus speaks for the sentiment at WaPo, a newspaper where "Derp Dies in the Darkness."
If that sounds funny to you, it's hilarious to Musk.
The article Elon Musk’s Twitter Investment Could Be Bad News for Free Speech doesn't actually make the case WHY it's bad for free speech as much as it describes the complaints of the content creator who wrote it. It's clear he doesn't like the way Elon Musk tweets.
The author actually supports Twitter banning and de-platforming people, which he refers to as the "belated efforts by social media platforms to constrain some of the most virulent forms of political propaganda." Otherwise known as opinions with which the WaPo and the people who press buttons at the bird app disagree.
This part is my favorite:
"It’s not ideal to have a free speech absolutist who isn’t absolutely in favor of free speech at the helm of — or even close to — a media company."
Set aside the claim that Musk isn't absolutely in favor of free speech; the content creator who wrote this didn't provide examples. A "reporter" writing for the Washington Post says it's not ideal to have a free speech absolutist close to a media company. If one sentence ever exposed corporate media, it's that one.
Expect more op-eds from the corporate media attacking Musk for wanting to reform Twitter. Also, expect Musk to up his ownership stake to 15%.
