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.
Hypocrity is the GOP platform, and has been since Nixon/Reagan. The last decent GOP President was Eisenhower.
And there are only a handful of non-hypocrite GOP members today, and they either lost their primaries, resigned, or quit the party.
For the GOP, publicly telling blatant lies, and holding double standards has become a loyalty test.
We have to stop being astounded by them executing on a 50 year old strategy, and figure out how to defeat them.
