There's satisfaction in watching Elon Musk as a person who has been trying to explain how the right is *different* to people who still want to waffle and "both sides" the political environment in the US.

People who come from the left and the center AGONIZE over moderation decisions, going back and forth endlessly over the trade offs between freedom of expression vs the chilling effect of racist or harassing speech.

People on the right DO NOT GIVE A SHIT. They don't even pretend.

@e_urq yes I wrote a long thread today inspired a bit by EM's journey. It seems to be a very teachable moment showing how this new form of right-wing authoritarianism has its own logic. You start of saying 'free speech' and then before too long you're saying very predictable bigoted things.
