Elon being Elon is familiar -- so familiar that it's no longer even particularly grotesque. But Elon fans tying themselves in knots trying to explain how WELL ACTUALLY all of this is PERFECTLY CONSISTENT with free speech absolutism he promised . . . . well, that's showing some new lows in groveling and abasement.

Elon fans have always perplexed me. I kinda assume it's similar to how Trump has so many fans, but I honestly don't know for sure

@mathlover @Popehat Until about 2020 both SpaceX and Tesla were underdogs - predicted to fail but with a commendable mission. Musk’s toxicity less widely known than now. So some fans are a remnant of that era, I think.
