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.
Try commenting on a right wing website:
Racism, conspiracy theories, even advocating violence, all allowed. Mild criticism from the left? Banned.
But their people will come over to a place like Slate,and when they're banned for calling our LGBTQ commenters pedophiles they SCREAM that we're suppressing right wing opinion and against free speech.
They don't care. They don't even believe any of it themselves. It's all bullshit. Musk is like every moderator I've ever seen from that side.
