Musk and the right have for years claimed to be free speech maximalists.

Now Musk has openly censored the press (after being triggered by some news coverage) and threatened to ban those who posts links to other social media platforms.

The right’s response to all of this brazen censorship? It is mostly cheering him on.

No one has a right to be on a private company’s platform. But the hypocrisy is astounding.

@oliverdarcy then reporters and news outlets need to be gone. Leave. Gtf off twitter. Build out on other sites. Musk’s twitter needs shrivel up and die. Reporters and need outlets are letting him survive. Posts like this w/o action are useless.
