The elites are clearly panicking. Their reaction to a Twitter buyout offer submitted by billionaire Elon Musk — a tech outsider in much the same way that Trump was a political outsider — has been a revelation. And not in a good way.

“Twitter has become kind of the de facto town square,” Musk said. “So it’s really important that people have both the reality and the perception that they’re able to speak freely… so there’s no sort of behind-the-scenes manipulation, either algorithmically or manually.”

“My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization,” Musk continued. “I don’t care about the economics at all.”

“I’m absolutely obsessed with truth,” Musk added.

“A good sign as to whether there is free speech: is someone you don’t like allowed to say something you don’t like?” he said on Thursday. “If that is the case, then we have free speech.”

Well Duh ! Somebody actually said it out loud

That was always the definition of Free Speech when I was growing up
