Instead of being a coward like many businesses and hiding behind “the first amendment doesn’t apply here as we are a private business” like damn near every tech platform….Elon Musk realizes that free speech isn’t about shutting speech down because you can.
Free speech is a set of values that says, it’s important to hear everyone. It’s important to listen to all sides, because that other slope is so damn slippery. Once you go down it, it’s tough to climb back up.
He realizes, that hearing how bad/good someone is, is very important. Wish other platforms were the same, and didn’t shut down free speech because “they can”. Shutting down “free speech” doesn’t end well, no matter the justification.
